Chapter 601: The Price of Fame
When the door of the small conference room was opened by the black-clad guards outside, I saw Ms. Park and a very dignified man with glasses walking towards him, talking about some work problems as they walked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Yuhao and the others also stood up from their positions when they opened the door, and this basic etiquette still needs to be observed. Li Yuhao turned to look at Ms. Park, wearing a lady's solemn goose yellow suit, and she nodded at Li Yuhao with a smile.
After Ms. Park entered the room, she came directly to Lee Woo-ho's side and stretched out her hand, "Hello, Chairman Lee." Li Yuhao also shook hands with Ms. Park solemnly, and did not bow to shake hands, but straightened his waist and shook hands with her, "Hello, Your Excellency President." ”
Ms. Park showed her smiling eyes and nodded, then walked up to the uncle again and stretched out her hand, "Long time no see." ”
The uncle bowed slightly as he shook hands and responded to Ms. Park, "Long time no see, Your Excellency President." ”
When Ms. Park's father succeeded to the presidency, she followed her father to visit Lee Woo-ho's grandfather, so she met her uncle at that time. She is also well aware of the importance of Lee Woo-ho's family to South Korea.
Ms. Park then shook hands with Li Juli with a kind smile: "Hello." ”
When she arrived at Li Juli's place, she shook hands almost 90 degrees: "Hello, Your Excellency President." "The identities are different, so they all guarantee their etiquette when facing the president.
After shaking hands with Ms. Park, the Minister of Finance also shook hands with the three of them, and then everyone sat on the sofa, Ms. Park smiled and looked at Lee Woo-ho and said, "Chairman Lee, you CJ Entertainment have been very good during this time, and you have been constantly promoting Korean food.
Since Lee Woo-ho came to power, CJ Entertainment has undergone a huge overhaul. In the past, variety shows were all funny, or chatting about the life dynamics of some celebrities, interesting things they met, or something, and few programs officially did food shows. However, the three major TV stations are still in the category of old variety shows, and only CJ Entertainment vigorously promotes food.
In Korea, the category of electrical appliances, 3C products, and now culture has been spread to the whole world. Now, Ms. Park is also very eager to promote Korean food to the world. Lee Woo-ho and CJ Entertainment have taken the first step, and that's what she likes to see the most. Therefore, CJ Entertainment also received a commendation from the president for promoting food programs in the country.
"Well, there are indeed people from China/China who have come to talk about the introduction, and the introduction is just in the form of a program, not Korean food. ”
"Since we are talking about the introduction of the program format, it means that there are already a lot of people over there who are paying attention to your program, which is a good thing. It would be a great achievement if we could introduce our Korean cuisine to the world like Chinese cuisine and be liked and recognized by everyone. ”
Li Yuhao smiled and shook his head, "Hehe.. The reason why Chinese/Chinese cuisine is available all over the world is because of the large population base of Chinese/Chinese. For the promotion of Korean cuisine, it is not enough to rely solely on the broadcasts of our TV stations, but I think we can strengthen cooperation in the field of food and entertainment. Nowadays, Korean barbecue, especially pork belly, is loved by everyone. We can make more use of the Internet and the star effect. For example, if there are some Hollywood people who do the propaganda, don't we have an accompanying translator? In terms of recommended diets, we should start with national foods such as pork belly, after all, foreigners are more acceptable to BBQ. So what do you mean by slowly bringing food and entertainment culture into line with the culture, Your Excellency the President?"
"Well, it's a really good way to use the Internet to promote it so that the world can see it, and you guys at CJ Entertainment are experts in this area, so you have to worry a lot about it. ”
"It should. At CJ Entertainment, we are now vigorously promoting food programs to let citizens know about food and understand food, so that people from abroad can better explain our Korean food to them when they come over. Therefore, the food program we are doing now is the first step to let the people understand food from the roots. ”
Ms. Park smiled and nodded, and then said to Li Yuhao: "I remember accompanying my father to visit the old man before, and he has a sentence that I still remember vividly." At that time, your grandfather said to my father, 'Koreans have a small population, so we have to hug each other.' Only by twisting into a rope can the world know that we are Koreans. I have this sentence in my heart, so I hope you can follow it because we are Koreans. ”
Park Geun-hye's words are a wake-up call for Lee Woo-ho, because during this period of time, he has been constantly communicating with the Iraqi side about the issue of naturalization in the country, not to mention the issue of Lee Woo-ho's family shares, and the liquidity he holds alone is a large amount. If you want to join the nationality there, you will have to invest in construction, and this cost is not a small amount. So what Park Geun-hye means is that instead of investing in construction there, you should invest in your own country. That's why she finally said, 'Because we're Korean!!'
Of course, Li Yuhao understood the meaning of her words, but Li Yuhao only frowned slightly. At this time, the Minister of Finance also spoke, "Your Excellency, it is almost time for dinner, let's go to Sanqing Pavilion." ”
Because this matter was in a hurry, Li Yuhao couldn't be asked to answer immediately, so the Minister of Finance came out to ease the atmosphere. It can be regarded as leaving some time for Li Yuhao to think about himself.
Ms. Park nodded, and then said to Li Yuhao and the others, "Chairman Lee, let's go to dinner." ”
"Well, I'm also curious about what our state dinner is like. After Li Yuhao finished speaking, he got up, and everyone walked towards the Sancheongak behind the Blue House, walked into the elegant courtyard, and the traditional Korean folk songs floated in their ears, which made people feel a little calm like water. The dining room is small and has a long table that fills up the entire space, and this is a very traditional Korean restaurant. This is not a state banquet hall, it is like a simple place for the president to eat on weekdays.
There are more than a dozen dishes, each of which is on a per capita order, so each dish is small and exquisite, and the first dish is indeed the best dish in summer, half a bowl of red bean porridge, the main dishes are Jeju anchovy, Jeju steak with wild ginseng, and of course, there is the indispensable Korean tea.
While everyone was having lunch, Ms. Park chatted with Lee Woo-ho, "Chairman Lee, I heard that you are inquiring about becoming an Iraqi citizen during this time?
In the face of Ms. Park's question, Li Yuhao looked at Li Juli beside him, and then smiled and nodded at her before responding to Ms. Park: "Because there are many women around me, I want to give all of them a name, but neither American nationality nor Korean nationality can do it, so I want to join Iraq." ”
After Li Yuhao said this, Ms. Park just felt that Li Yuhao was a little ridiculous. Who of the wealthy class like Li Yuhao doesn't have three or five little lovers, or three or five aunts? However, the name is definitely reserved for a woman who can help their family business. Even if you don't have feelings for each other, it's called marriage.
So it's normal for the rich to have three or five little wives or something, because that's what society looks like. But Ms. Park really hasn't heard of any rich man or something who wants to give all his mistresses a legal name?
When Li Yuhao said this, Ms. Park had no expression, but only smiled slightly in her heart, "When you are a love saint, you are really a child who has not grown up yet." ’
Ms. Park didn't speak, but the Minister of Finance pushed her glasses at this time, glanced at Li Juli, and then said to Li Yuhao: "Chairman Li, because you are a dual citizen, now your taxes are already double taxes in the United States and South Korea, and if you become Iraqi nationality again, it will be three taxes." This is really not cost-effective, and from the perspective of the national economic sector, we can also see it as an outflow of assets. Although I don't know what your specific personal income is in a year. But I'll just say the most conservative figure of one billion dollars, we calculate it according to the 20 percent personal tax, and now you add up to 400 million US dollars, which is 400 billion won, and if you join Iraq, your tax will become 600 million US dollars! 600 million a year, 6 billion dollars in 10 years. Of that, $2 billion is the tax you pay to give your girlfriend a 'name'. Even if the relationship is broken in the future, you will still have to pay taxes. Let's use an analogy to the lowest 50 years you live in the world, that's 10 billion dollars, do you think it's really worth it?"
The Minister of Finance's remarks were not meant for Li Yuhao, because of such a simple tax relationship, is it not clear to a person like Li Yuhao? In fact, the Minister of Finance just said it to Li Juli, and he wanted to make Li Juli feel pressure. If Li Juli insists on wanting that 'name' (because only Li Juli is present), then this 'name' Li Yuhao will spend at least $10 billion.
This is not 10 billion won, if it is 10 billion won, the finance minister will not come forward to persuade it, this is a real American sword!! 10 billion dollars is equal to how many won? is equal to one trillion! As long as you don't gamble and don't commit crimes, one trillion is money that you can't spend in ten lifetimes.
The finance minister's words really frightened Li Juli, really. Before Li Yuhao could speak, Ms. Park said: "2 billion US dollars a year can improve the lives of many people..."
