The first time he stepped into the video store, the quiet atmosphere inside made Lee Hyun-cheol very uncomfortable.

One is that there are no fans lining up to buy the album as he imagined, and the other is that there are few people here.

The only two clerks were lazily dusting the shelves with a feather duster, and the other was lying on his stomach playing with his phone.

"Welcome, what do you need?"

"Huh?"

His ears shook slightly, and Li Xianzhe didn't expect that he was actually hearing his hometown's dialect.

But when I thought that this was an industry run by my father's branch in country M, I didn't doubt it. Li Xianzhe took out his mobile phone slowly, he had just come out of the army, and he hadn't had time to change into the latest model.

The strange eyes of the clerk made Li Xianzhe blush a little, at least in this era, few people are still using 2G mobile phones, and they are still sliding.

After fiddling with it for a while, Lee Hyun-cheol put his phone in front of the clerk's eyes, coughed lightly and asked, "Hello, maybe, do you have any of their albums?"

The broken mobile phone screen still can't stop the beauty of the six girls, for Li Xianzhe, because he doesn't pay much attention to this circle, some of the situations in the circle he knows are still stuck seven or eight years ago.

However, his only spiritual food in the army is only them.

"Hehehe..."

Walking out of the video store, Li Xianzhe held the only stock in the store against the door of his head and smiled stupidly. No one paid attention to it, and he kissed it gently.

"It's not too late to come out in July, and it seems that I'm lucky to be able to buy their albums in country M. ”

"Secret Garden", this is the star group that Lee Hyun-cheol likes in the army, the album released in July this year, the title song "NONONO" makes him go to the single loop every night in the army, although the group of soldiers around him can't understand it.

It's a pity that by now, the activities of singing and propaganda have long ended.

It's just that he was the latest in the circle, and he didn't know about the release of this album in July at first.

Or by chance a vacation approved by the army, at that time, he was still wearing a military uniform and carrying a package, and he was in an Internet café, for some expensive Internet fees and Internet café clerks, and it was at that time that he really felt that he was outdated.

For example, at that time, the Internet fee was twice as high as before he joined the army, for example, it had been three months since the album was released. He realized that he happened to pass by a drink shop when he came out of the Internet café at that time, and he was attracted by the melody of this song, and finally cheekily went in and asked, "What is this song called, who sang it?".

"How could it be so beautiful~ If only it were my girlfriend" I reluctantly wrapped the album, carefully put it in the bag and muttered, "Well~ It's time to go up and take a look." ”

Lee Hyun-cheol didn't know that if his father and brother saw him like this, their eyes might fall to the ground in surprise.

In general, Lee Hyun-chul's father's business is somewhat related to the album he just bought, and even his older brother, between 2011 and 2012, began to enter his father's company as a lyricist.

Only himself, for his father's career, the slightest "interest" in the slightest, his greatest preference, is to make money! Using the New Year's money that his father gave him when he was a child, relying on the professional knowledge that his father cultivated and learned since childhood, he hired a special team to help him invest since 06......

"Second son, welcome back, if the director knows, he will be very happy. ”

As soon as he entered the company, a middle-aged man walked up to him and gently hugged Li Xianzhe, who had been responsible for the communication between him and the two management teams during Li Xianzhe's enlistment.

"Uncle, the title of second son is exempt. ”

Li Xianzhe waved his hand, his family background is not bad, but he has nothing to do with the wealthy.

"Okay, second son, it just so happens that you have retired, and I can just report the results of the past two years to you. ”

"Okay. ”

In a conference room, Lee Hyun-cheol quietly looked at the papers spread out on the table, and in the business world, the principle he believed in was actually very simple, "money first", which seemed to have been inherited from his father.

"At the beginning of 2012, when you were in the army, I used the money you made from shorting in the 08 and 09 financial crisis and speculating in foreign exchange to buy shares in the following companies for you, which are in full control, but there are not many of them, but it is more than enough for you to enter the board of directors. ”

While listening to his uncle's report, Li Xianzhe believes that as long as people have money, even if it is a state-controlled industry in this world, it is impossible to buy it, but it is okay to serve yourself for a period of time.

Of course, the premise is to look at which country, which industry, if a rich man wants to buy a small island in a certain country, he can really become the owner of the island permanently for a little money.

"However, I am a little curious, I remember that a long time ago, Director Li intended to let you join the company to help him manage the company's affairs, and you are also very talented in music, even Mr. Yu often praises you.

Why did you suddenly find me wanting to buy these companies before I joined the army?"

Uncle is very curious, Li Xianzhe is famous in the eyes of the people around him for not being interested in that circle, and he only looks at current political news and some "unfathomable" fluctuation line charts in the eyes of others, although he has helped some artists in his father's company write a lot of hit songs a few times, but the reason is also very straightforward: make money.

Then use the money earned to invest in various fields of industry, the more you invest, as long as the operation is good, the more benefits will be recovered.

"Because I know that the industry makes money, and my father's company is a good example of this.

It's just that it's not that I'm not interested in joining his company, you know better than me that his company background is too deep, and the members of the board of directors are staggered, so I found such a reason.

There is nothing more reassuring to me than to buy it myself and become its owner. ”

Li Xianzhe sighed when he remembered the past, when he enlisted in the army in 12 years, the funds that he could move in his hands were more than two or three billion US dollars in the two-year financial crisis of 08 and 09 years alone, and the money he invested in it is still doubling every moment under the management of the professional team on both sides of Citibank and Wall Street.

Even, these two teams also helped him invest in and acquire some industries that he didn't know, that is to say, Li Xianzhe himself didn't know what industries he had and how much money he had.

The rest comes from the money earned by speculating in real estate in country M and hometown every other year in the name of his father when he was young, and the money earned by investing in NBA teams, World Cup games, and Manchester United in his name.

Of course, Lee Hyun-cheol also has one of the biggest cards, that is, during the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, when he was studying in the United States, he met a person who wrote a paper under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto and published it online, and everyone thought he was a psychopath at the time.

With the support of Lee Hyun-cheol's funds, the two teamed up to create a new set of electronic money, also known as bits, and the two masterminds quickly disappeared after becoming famous.

"CCM is more than 2 million US dollars for a sunset company, and more than 10 million RMB will be done, if the fans of that group know, they can be bought with a little fundraising (there is a Zhong Queen on Weibo who calculated, 10 million is enough in 14 years).

DSP, a $3.7 million brand, is a little more old in terms of heritage and time of establishment, but the price is reasonable, but the company has no valuable traffic.

Next, Jellyfish, Starship, and five or six others were completely controlled, including the other two except for his father's company, all of which were only a few percent of the shares, and they could just be on the board of directors. ”

Squinting his eyes, Li Xianzhe roughly calculated that it cost less than two billion US dollars to acquire the shares of these companies, as well as the internal artist contracts, and both artists and companies over there are notoriously cheap, at least in the eyes of rich people.

Think about it in 14 years, there were a few companies that only paid hundreds of millions of RMB to acquire several large companies there. YG's market value in 11 years was more than 100 billion H coins, which was only a little bit when converted into US dollars and RMB.

The two major societies plus my father's company add up to this price.

"Over the years, I've worked hard for you, uncle. ”

Sorting out the messy information on the table, Li Xianzhe couldn't help but stretch his waist, nothing to do, Li Xianzhe except for relying on the memory that others don't have in his head, the rest is his money, and others contribute.

"It's okay, I've been in this industry for so many years and haven't been so comfortable working in the past few years, by the way, Director Li is going to a place to give a speech tomorrow, I heard that your brother will also go over, are you interested in going over to take a look?"

"Where?"

"Your school, the time for the presentation is tomorrow. ”
