Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 407 Intrigue and Scheming Against Each Other

Taj Mahal Hotel, State Suite.

Lin Yuan walked into the room carrying a miniature camera.

"What is this?" Betty came over and asked.

"The camera that recorded the process of cooking the scum must be kept in your own hands. Do you want to see what happens to the scum?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Do you think I'm scared? Give it to me!" Betty reached out and took it.

Of course she knew what was being recorded, so she pressed the replay button on the camera and started watching it from beginning to end.

Among Lin Yuan's confidantes, Betty is obviously the one who has been exposed to the dark side the most. Whether it is the bloodless fighting in the capital market or the bloody fighting with real swords and guns in reality, she should have seen it all.

After all, he is the future helmsman of the big family. How could he be a greenhouse flower that has never seen blood?

Therefore, the video recorded by Lin Yuan was nothing to her.

After a while, she finished watching and said, "It's really bloody, but it also makes me feel relieved. Dealing with those scum like this is already a bargain for them."

"This is enough to comfort Padma's soul in heaven, but it is not appropriate to show such a video directly to Amaya. She is still a child." Betty continued.

"But if she doesn't see the bad guys being punished, she won't feel at peace," said Lin Yuan.

"Leave it to me. I'll mosaic the footage and edit out the parts that are not suitable for her to watch. I'll make a video that allows her to see the bad guys' fate but is as suitable as possible for children to watch," Betty replied.

"By the way, where is Amaya?" Lin Yuan did not see her in the suite after he came back.

"She went back to keep watch for her mother. There was no way she could stay here. The hotel staff drove her back." Betty said.

"Do they also keep watch here in India?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

"Of course there is, and it's not just in India. There's a custom of keeping vigil all over the world. It was a way for the ancients to avoid false death," Betty replied.

After hearing Betty's explanation, Lin Yuan nodded to show that he understood.

Sometimes a person stops breathing and his heart stops beating, and he appears to be dead.

But he was not really dead, but entered a state of suspended animation for unknown reasons.

Human vitality is very tenacious. In rare cases, some seemingly dead "corpses" will suddenly breathe again and their owners will come back to life.

At this time, if there are relatives by the side and provide timely treatment, the person may even recover and continue to live for a long time.

Therefore, ancient people all over the world summed up experience from practice and developed the habit of keeping watch.

They will not immediately dispose of the bodies of their loved ones by burning or burying them, so as to avoid actually killing their loved ones who are only in a state of suspended animation.

"Let her guard it. That way she'll feel better. I just don't know if her body can handle it."

Lin Yuan was a little worried. Amaya had a congenital heart disease. If she developed an attack under the double blow of sadness and fatigue, it would be very dangerous.

"Don't worry, I've arranged for a private doctor to stay with her. She'll be fine," Betty said. "Once things are settled in India, I'll bring her back to New York. I've already arranged for the best heart surgeon to be there, and he'll definitely cure her completely."

"Thank you for helping me solve so many trivial matters." Lin Yuan reached out and touched Betty's head.

"What are you thanking me for? This is what I wanted to do too." Betty replied with a smile.

"Mukesh Ambani invited us to his home tonight," said Lin Yuan.

"That 'Antilea'? He's finally starting to make demands," Betty replied.

It was obvious that this was more than just a visit and a meal.

Mukesh Ambani will definitely propose the idea of ​​cooperation tonight and seek the support of Lin Yuan and Betty.

"What do you think of Mukesh Ambani?" Betty continued.

"Profit-seeking, domineering and shameless." Lin Yuan replied.

"I'm very curious about how you came to this conclusion?" Although Betty believed Lin Yuan's conclusion, she still wanted to know the reason.

"Have you heard of Mukesh Ambani's love story?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Of course, the story of 'Antilea' and 'the most beautiful luxury car,'" Betty replied with a smile. "It sounds a bit fake, but people love to hear such stories."

"Then you should know why I evaluated him like this?" Lin Yuan replied.

These days in India, the battle between the Ambani brothers for the family fortune has attracted widespread attention across the country.

More of Mukesh Ambani's private past began to be reported by the media, including his love story.

His wife Nita Ambani is not only of noble birth, but was also one of the most beautiful women in India when she was young, far surpassing those Hollywood actresses.

This should be true. Most of the photos found on the Internet later were of her when she was around 50 years old, still beautiful and charming, which shows that she must have been extremely stunning when she was young.

It is said that Mukesh Ambani's father, Ambani Sr., fell in love with Nita at first sight when he saw her for the first time.

Of course, he didn't want to possess this beautiful woman himself, but wanted to introduce her to his son as his wife.

But at the beginning, Nita completely looked down on Mukesh, a rich boy.

Mukesh's repeated expressions of love were rejected, which made him feel painful and sweet.

After pursuing him for half a year, Nita was gradually moved by Mukesh's sincerity, and the two began to get along slowly.

On the day of the proposal, Mukesh Ambani stopped his car at an intersection, took out a diamond ring and said to Nita: "If you don't accept my proposal today, I will park my car here and not move."

Nita, who was not mentally prepared, could only stand there, completely unsure of how to respond.

Soon, the traffic light turned green.

Mukesh's car remained motionless, and the anxious cars waiting behind began to honk their horns frantically.

Amidst a flurry of horn honks, Nita hurriedly accepted Mukesh's proposal.

After marriage, Mukesh Ambani did not become bored with Nita after getting her, but loved her even more.

Not only did he give Nita a Mercedes-Benz sedan inlaid with 300,000 diamonds, he also built the world's most expensive private mansion "Antilea" for her.

I don’t know whether any smart person was moved by this love story, but the Indian people were definitely moved.

Lin Yuan has heard people's comments about Mukesh Ambani on the streets of India many times these days.

Most ordinary Indians expressed their envy and emotion for this relationship.

They all agreed that Mukesh's proposal by parking the car and his lavish spending after the wedding were so romantic.

If you are a man, you should be like him!
In this atmosphere of public opinion, Mukesh Ambani's personal image has improved a lot.

At least he is much more popular with the public than his seemingly sinister brother.

Regarding this result, Lin Yuan only wants to say:

How can you empathize with the love story of a wealthy man?
Which one can you afford: a luxurious building that reaches into the sky or a super luxury car inlaid with diamonds?
How is it romantic to block public transportation for the selfish benefit of proposing to someone?
What's more, this story sounded strange to Lin Yuan.

From the Internet in later generations, Lin Yuan discovered that wealthy people all over the world like to set up the image of loving wives and being dogs for them.

They are particularly keen on telling the media how they fell in love at first sight with their wives and girlfriends, but how the other party was cold and dismissive towards them.

And the story of how he persevered in being a bootlicker, and finally achieved his goal with sincerity and won the heart of the girl.

I won’t name the rich people who have told such stories, there are so many of them!
And everyone's story seems to be carved out of the same template.

The same is true of Mukesh Ambani's story. It truly transcends race and region and has become a global unified template!
Lin Yuan is now a wealthy man, and he knows too well why these rich people like to tell stories like this.

Saying this can show weakness, fully demonstrate a low profile, and narrow the psychological distance with the grassroots people.

When the public believes this kind of nonsense, men will think: It turns out that when rich men pursue women, they have to lick their asses just like me, and they may not get them just as easily!
Women will think like this: Look, when rich men pursue their girlfriends, they are so attentive and condescending. We women are precious in front of men. It feels so good!
By fully satisfying the emotional needs of both men and women, it is natural to gain considerable favor.

This kind of behavior of fabricating one's own feelings and using any means to gain favor in front of the public is completely worthy of Lin Yuan's evaluation of being "profit-driven".

In Lin Yuan's opinion, Mukesh's "crossroads proposal" was not a "proposal" at all, but a "forced marriage."

This "domineering" "forced marriage" fully reflects Mukesh Ambani's character: using any means necessary and not giving others the opportunity to choose.

When they see the right opportunity, they immediately use all kinds of tactics, using both soft and hard means, to settle things in a semi-forced manner, which also deserves the description of "domineering and shameless".

Therefore, Lin Yuan's evaluation of Mukesh Ambani is "profit-driven, overbearing and shameless."

"Such a low evaluation? But apart from the domineering aspect, isn't it a typical Indian character?" After experiencing India these days, Betty has a good understanding of the character of this third brother.

"I'm not simply belittling him. If he's only interested in profit, we can use that to keep him hooked and make him work for us. If he's overbearing and shameless, then we won't give him the chance to be overbearing. We just need to be more shameless than him." Lin Yuan replied.

"It seems that you have seen through Mukesh Ambani's character and figured out his intentions. Do you have any plans?" Betty asked with a smile.

Lin Yuan took out a document and handed it to her: "We can make money together, but if we are the bad guys in the future, Morgan Stanley may have to take the blame."

Betty smiled and said, "Are you plotting against us so blatantly?" "No, you and I are in one group, and Morgan Stanley is in another. Don't worry, this kind of reputation trouble is nothing in the eyes of Morgan Stanley." Lin Yuan said.

Betty let go of the plan, read a few pages, and immediately laughed: "Hahaha, you are so insidious. But I like it very much!"

……

……

As night fell, Lin Yuan and Betty, riding in a luxury car sent by Mukesh Ambani, were invited to visit "Antilea".

The vehicle carried them into the building and took them directly to the 6th floor via the car elevator.

Then, guided by a gentle and beautiful maid, the two took the elevator to the banquet hall on the 8th floor.

The moment the elevator door opened, Lin Yuan's first thought was: "Dazzle! It's so dazzling!"
It feels like my eyes are going to be blinded by the light.

There was a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the hall, the door handles and tableware were made of gold, the vases and water glasses were inlaid with diamonds, and there were sparkling objects everywhere.

This scene made Lin Yuan believe that great vulgarity is great elegance.

As long as you can be tacky to the extreme, the effect can be quite shocking.

Mukesh Ambani and his family had already been waiting in the banquet hall.

Betty saw the legendary Nita Ambani at first sight. She was indeed as beautiful as the legend said, even prettier than what she saw on TV.

She was wearing a pink sari, tall and elegant. She was nearly 50 years old at this time, but her figure and appearance were still very good.

Betty couldn't help but whisper in Lin Yuan's ear: "I really don't know if I can still be as pretty as her when I'm her age."

Lin Yuan smiled, squeezed her hand, and said, "It will definitely be better looking than her, I promise!"

"Then I'll believe you!" Betty said with a smile.

Lin Yuan was not lying to her. With the magical effect of the youth potion, Betty would definitely look much younger than any of her peers.

But he still doesn't know from whom to get Betty's youth potion.

Is it Taylor Swift?
Or GAKKI sauce?
Seeing the two people coming, Mukesh Ambani walked forward with a smile, led them to the table and sat them down, and then the waiter immediately started serving the dishes.

Soon, the table was filled with various delicious dishes carefully prepared by the chef.

Generally speaking, dishes can be divided into two types: Western and Indian.

But no matter which method is used, there is one characteristic, that is, the ingredients are absolutely expensive!
Take the bottle of Romanee-Conti wine on the table as an example, it costs $50 a bottle.

It is much more expensive than the bottle that Lin Yuan gave to director Cohen when he returned from Hong Kong Island.

Mukesh Ambani's family are all very talkative and enthusiastic. The atmosphere at the table quickly became heated up. Both the host and the guests had a pleasant conversation, and bursts of cheerful laughter broke out from time to time.

The dinner ended in a good atmosphere.

Nita Ambani left first with a few children who were reluctant to leave. Mukesh's children all liked Lin Yuan very much.

After all, how many children don’t like a screen superhero like him?
After all the family members left, Mukesh Ambani took them to another elevator.

"Brother, come to my sky garden. It's nice to have some after-dinner coffee there," Mukesh Ambani invited.

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions, brother." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

The real business is finally about to begin.

The three of them came to a Bodhi tree next to the window in the Sky Garden.

After the maid brought the coffee and left, Mukesh Ambani spoke up, "Brother, I'll be honest with you. My life has been tough lately. I'm almost becoming a national clown."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I've heard a little about this as well. In my opinion, the root of this matter lies in clarifying the distribution and ownership of property as soon as possible. Once the ownership is clearly divided, the rest will be a small matter."

"Of course you are right, but my younger brother is too greedy. This foundation was mainly created by my father and me, but he wants to take away most of it. Isn't this too much?" Mukesh Ambani complained.

Lin Yuan didn't believe a word he said.

In his previous life, he had witnessed the entire war between brothers, from beginning to end.

"How can I help?" Lin Yuan didn't try to be polite and asked directly.

"I need to gain more advantages in public opinion so that I can get my share of the inheritance when it is divided," Mukesh Ambani said. "At the same time, I also need an infusion of additional funds. Otherwise, even if I get the businesses I want, they will be run with difficulties and dangers."

Lin Yuan nodded in understanding.

The greater the advantage you have in public opinion, the more confident you will be when bargaining.

After all, humans are creatures that value legitimacy.

If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct.

If the words are not in harmony, nothing will be accomplished.

By occupying the high ground of public opinion, we can unite more forces, make more allies, and reduce potential enemies as much as possible.

The funding needs are easier to understand.

Once the two brothers complete the division of the inheritance, Mukesh Ambani will definitely grab the petrochemical part.

This is Reliance Group's most traditional pillar business and also its most important business segment.

When his father was still alive, Mukesh Ambani was in charge of this business, and his control had permeated every aspect.

Therefore, his younger brother will definitely not compete with him for this sector, but will seek to acquire other industries.

However, asset-heavy businesses such as petrochemicals have extremely high demands for cash flow.

Once Reliance Industries is split, its cash flow will inevitably be split as well.

The cash flow problem, which was already tight, would immediately erupt.

Mukesh Ambani knows how important cash flow is to a company, especially a petrochemical company.

Once his lack of funds becomes known to others, it will surely attract many hungry wolves who want to take a bite of him.

Therefore, the funding issue is of utmost importance to Mukesh Ambani. It even involves the survival of the company and is more important than public opinion.

"I've long guessed your dilemma, brother. Here's a plan I've prepared. Would you like to take a look?"

Lin Yuan took out a plan and handed it to him.

Mukesh Ambani reached out to take it and immediately began to read it eagerly.

Lin Yuan's plan mainly proposes solutions to his current predicament.

First of all, in terms of public opinion, Lin Yuan’s suggestion is to use his influence in film and television to shoot a short drama.

The plan includes a brief plot introduction:

Lin Yuan will play a man who follows his father to start a business. He is the eldest brother among his brothers and sisters in the family, and also the most capable helper in his father's career.

The father and son worked together and finally established a foundation.

But as the family became more wealthy, the family members began to make their own plans.

Among them, there is a younger brother named Anil, who is particularly insidious...

When outsiders read the whole story, they will immediately think of the fight between the Ambani brothers.

Lin Yuan plays the role of the elder brother who represents Mukesh's image and will definitely help him gain more sympathy.

Correspondingly, his younger brother will naturally suffer more doubts and a worsening reputation.

Mukesh Ambani is of course very satisfied with this plan, which is also his original intention to ask Lin Yuan to come to India.

He owns a film and television company, and Lin Yuan has extremely high popularity and fame.

Combining the two and shooting a short drama can immediately help him gain a huge advantage in public opinion.

As long as this is achieved, Mukesh Ambani's original purpose will be achieved.

But now, he is even greedier.

He hopes that the funding issues can also be resolved at the same time.

So he continued to read the plan.

Then he froze...
