Chapter 4 I Want to Be Free
The next day, Li Xianhao woke up early, and he was not familiar with the new environment in South Korea for the time being, so he woke up very early. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info casually exercised in the garden for a while, walked around the villa to familiarize himself with the home environment, and the rest of the family got up.
After a hearty breakfast, Lee Jae-hyun asked Lee Xianhao to familiarize himself with the environment in South Korea and look around, and he went to arrange for Lee Xianhao to become the president.
Li Xianhao also wanted to see how far South Korea has developed today, so he happily decided to use these few days to visit Seoul.
As soon as he went out, Li Xianhao was startled by a giant man. With a height of more than 2 meters and a weight of at least 150 kilograms, the strong body muscles appear to be very powerful.
"Hello, young master. The muscular man quickly lowered his head and shouted.
"Are you?" Li Xianhao looked at the muscular man and seemed to understand his identity.
"Young master, I am the bodyguard assigned to you by the president, my name is Liu Mingyu. ”
It turned out that since falling out with Lee Kun-hee, Lee Jae-hyun not only changed his residence, but also added his own bodyguards, which is why so many people went to pick up the plane yesterday, and those were all bodyguards hired by Lee Jae-hyun. And for the genius son he particularly values, he is naturally equipped with a bodyguard, Liu Mingyu is a very powerful character among the bodyguards, and it also looks like people are afraid to approach, which makes Liu Mingyu come over to protect Li Xianhao.
"Oh. Let's go. Li Xianhao nodded, understood his identity, and then took the lead in walking to the garage, Liu Mingyu saw it and hurriedly followed. Li Xianhao randomly picked one of the many cars in the garage and sat on it.
"Young Master, where are we going?" Sitting in the driver's seat, Liu Mingyu asked.
"Let's take a look around Seoul first, I just returned to Japan and I'm not familiar with Seoul at all. ”
"Good. Liu Mingyu started the car and drove out of the villa with Li Xianhao.
From Yongsan-gu to Seongbuk-gu, Gangbuk-gu, Gangseo-gu and then Mapo-gu, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Gangnam-gu, Songpa-gu, etc., Liu Mingyu took Li Xianhao to see the whole Seoul as if he were looking at the whole of Seoul, and today's Seoul is also very prosperous, no less than some international cities, but hidden behind the prosperity, there are also many poor residential areas, Seoul has a population of more than 10 million, and less than 1% of the rich people are just that.
After visiting Seoul for a whole day, I had a preliminary understanding of the development status of Seoul, and on the whole, it was okay, and Li Xianhao also had some ideas of his own.
In the evening, Lee Jae-hyun came back from work and told Lee Seon-ho that he would go with him tomorrow to meet the chairman of CJ Entertainment, and Lee Seon-ho nodded and wanted to meet the head of the largest entertainment group in South Korea.
CJ Entertainment is an 80% owned company by CJ Group, which has gradually developed from a small company founded by Li Meijing to the current entertainment group, in which Li Xianhao can be said to have made a lot of contributions. Since the new millennium, Lee Xianhao will write film and television scripts every year and send them back to Lee Jae-hyun, in terms of movies, almost in the next few years, the top five Korean movie box office every year are Lee Xianhao's movie scripts, the record-breaking "Tai Chi Flag Flying", "Han River Monster", "The King's Man", etc., have left a deep impression, and in terms of TV series, from "Stairway to Heaven", "Winter Love Song", "My Name is Kim Sam Soon", "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" and other popular TV dramas are all original or adapted scripts by Lee Xianhao, and it is precisely because of these film and television dramas that CJ Entertainment has developed by leaps and bounds and become the largest entertainment group in South Korea.
CJ Entertainment's chairman is Kang Seok-hee (Kang Hee-suk), who holds a 5% stake in CJ Entertainment Group and is also a relatively shrewd leader, and he has contributed a lot to CJ Entertainment's development and growth over the years. Therefore, when Lee Jae-hyun suddenly said that Lee Xianhao had returned to China and was going to work in his small company, Kang Shixi immediately became interested.
When I saw Kang Shixi the next day, Li Xianhao was a little surprised, I thought that Kang Shixi would be a person who looked shrewd and capable and did not smile, but when I saw Kang Shixi, I realized that what I thought was too far from reality, Kang Shixi looked like he was in his 40s, about the same age as Li Zaixian, but he had a fat belly, and his height was not as tall as Lee Jae-hyun, he was really a short and fat man.
Kang Shixi does not have shares in CJ Group, but only has some shares in CJ Entertainment, and he is a senior manager who manages CJ Entertainment for CJ Group, so he naturally respects Li Xianhao and says good things.
agreed with Kang Shixi that he would officially go to CCM to take office three days later, and Li Xianhao used the remaining two days to deal with some of his own private affairs.
…………
On the afternoon of the 6th, Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu.
"Gui Shao, this villa is the best villa in Jiangnan District, the environment is quiet, the scenery is beautiful, the transportation is convenient, the modern design style, and the security measures are strict, there are only 2 villas in each community here, there is no need to worry about security, behind the villa is the high-walled boulevard, close to the Han River, warm in winter and cool in summer, it is definitely your best residential choice~" A real estate agent led Li Xianhao to praise the benefits of the villa while walking around the villa.
Yes, Li Xianhao came to buy a villa today, he has too many secrets, and it will be very inconvenient to live with his family, so he wants to move out. After looking for a day, Li Xianhao found this villa here, a villa complex located near the Eluai Hotel in Cheongdam-dong, and behind the villa complex is the Hangang River Leisure Boulevard.
"The total area of the villa is 200 square meters (about 660 square meters), you have just seen it, the garden, the pool, the grass everything, and this super large garage, up to 10 cars can be parked, and there is, please come here with me, you see, this is a basement, this is designed to store red wine, of course, you can also use it for other purposes......" The real estate agent tried his best to tell Li Xianhao about the benefits of this villa, you know, the villa is worth billions of won, if it is sold, his commission is enough for him not to work for a year, plus the car that Li Xianhao drove just now, he can also see that it is at least an imported luxury car BMW worth hundreds of millions of won, so he is extremely flattering to introduce the villa to Li Xianhao.
After looking around the villa, the real estate agent led Li Xianhao into the room again.
"The total area of the main building is 120 pings, a total of four floors, and there is a basement on the third floor above ground, the basement here is connected to the basement where the wine is stored, there are a total of 10 rooms, each room has a large space. ”
Li Xianhao followed the footsteps of the real estate agent and carefully looked at this villa, it is really not an ordinary luxury, there are two bedrooms on the first floor, the master bedroom has more than 100 square meters of space, the living room and dining room are oversized, and the kitchen can be compared to the kitchen of a large restaurant, with 6 stoves, which makes Li Xianhao stunned.
There are six rooms on the second floor, each of which is about the same size, and Li Xianhao thought that maybe these rooms could be used for various purposes, such as a gym, a study, a musical instrument room, and so on. There are only half of the 3 rooms on the 3rd floor, and the other half is the top floor platform, there is a small swimming pool, and there is an observation deck, you can see the scenery of the Han River less than 100 meters apart nearby, it can be said that it is a very comfortable environment, Li Xianhao is very satisfied after reading it, and he has decided that this place will be his villa.
"Is there anyone living in the villa next to it?" Li Xianhao asked the real estate agent, pointing to the villa on the side.
"This, no one lives in it for the time being, Gui Shao, you also know that there are really not many people who can afford such a luxurious villa, only people like Gui Shao are worthy of such a luxurious villa. The real estate agent pushed his glasses and laughed again.
"It's best if no one lives, I don't like to be disturbed, let's go, let's go back and sign the contract." ”
Li Xianhao's words suddenly made the real estate agent happy as if he had flown into the clouds, and hurriedly opened the way in front of him with a smile, and led Li Xianhao downstairs with a fart.
Liu Mingyu drove back to Apguting again and came to the real estate agent's office to sign the housing contract.
The real estate agent took the housing contract of the villa, made a cup of coffee and sent it to Li Xianhao, ready to explain to Li Xianhao in detail the various service management projects of the villa, but saw Li Xianhao raise his hand to stop what he was about to say.
"Take the contract for the other villa as well. ”
"What...... What?" the real estate agent looked at Li Xianhao in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"The contract for the villa next to this villa was also brought over, and I bought it all. Li Xianhao said again.
Li Xianhao's words, like the sound of heaven as clear to the ears of the real estate agent, he was sure that this was the most bold voice he had heard in his life, but also the loveliest voice for him, ecstatic he quickly returned to find the contract of another villa, together with it and respectfully handed it to Li Xianhao.
"As I said, I don't like to be disturbed, so when it comes to property management and privacy, I want to be the best I can be. Li Xianhao said to the real estate agent while signing his name.
"It must be, this is a certainty, there has never been a security incident in other communities in the villa complex, and our villa complex has done a good job in this regard. The real estate agent hastened to reassure.
After the contract was signed, Li Xianhao directly paid off the money for the two villas at one time by swiping the card, which made the real estate agent call Li Xianhao really rich, and all the documents that needed to be handled next were also handled quickly. Until he walked out of the agency's office, Li Xianhao never asked about the price of the two villas. After a while, the information came to the mobile phone, and Li Xianhao took a look, but it was the information that he had just purchased two villas and successfully deducted the money, a total of 13 billion won, but Li Xianhao didn't blink his eyes, this little money is really too little for Li Xianhao.
Since going to the United States, Li Xianhao has used his prescient advantage to make money around the world.
In the Asian financial crisis of '97, Soros thought that he was the biggest winner and looted tens of billions of dollars from Asian countries, but who knew that the real biggest winner was Li Xianhao? Half of the hundreds of billions of dollars that had evaporated became money in Li Xianhao's account.
After Li Xianhao founded Google alone, the world's largest video website YouTube, and then Facebook, all of which were founded by Li Xianhao, considering his age and his dislike of managing companies, so he handed over these companies to others to manage, and gave them some shares. So far, Li Xianhao still owns 60% of the original shares of Google, 80% of YouTube and 80% of Facebook.
Of course, these are only some of the shares of the world's largest companies that Li Xianhao holds. In 04, Universal Pictures was fully purchased by Li Xianhao, and then merged with NBC Broadcasting, a subsidiary of General Motors, to become NBC Universal, and Li Xianhao accounted for 30% of the shares of the new company, which is the largest individual shareholder.
Li Xianhao took advantage of the 911 incident in the United States when the stock market turmoil, and at the same time acquired the shares of many large companies, such as Apple's 10% stake, Microsoft's 3%, and then used his technology to increase Microsoft's stake to 5%, the world's telecommunications giant AT&T 10%, and Comcast's 15% stake.
Of course, apart from these large American companies, how could Li Xianhao let go of the Japanese and South Korean companies? Especially the large Japanese companies, Li Xianhao was born with a displeasing view of these large Japanese companies and enterprises, and naturally he would not let them go; the Mitsubishi Group, the Toyota Group, the Honda Group, the Sony Group, Panasonic Electronics, the SoftBank Group, and other large Japanese enterprises were all patronized by Li Xianhao, and Li Xianhao did not hold shares in these companies, but resold the shares and scavenged no less than $50 billion from them. In South Korea, Li Xianhao is a little disdainful of this, because in addition to Samsung Electronics in the Samsung Group, which is very profitable in the future, Li Xianhao of several other families does not want to get involved, so Li Xianhao is only in the entertainment industry in South Korea, and the major shareholder behind SBS TV was originally Tairong Real Estate, but after Li Xianhao acquired Tairong Real Estate, he acquired some other scattered shares, and then integrated them, and now he owns 65% of SBS's shares. In addition to the shares of this TV station, Li Xianhao is the most familiar with the network, it can be said that he occupies the entire Korean Internet world, he has a network company in South Korea - the Republic of Korea Network Company, which is now the largest network company in South Korea, which owns various projects involving the Internet in South Korea, such as South Korea's largest search website, social networking sites, communication programs, game development companies, music source websites, etc., covering almost everything on the Korean network.
In terms of the stock market, Li Xianhao is quite legendary. People think that the stock god is Buffett, but what people don't know is that in the stock market, there is another person who is more magical than Buffett, that is Li Xianhao, his investment in the stock market has come and gone without a trace, and he has never missed, even Buffett, the so-called stock god, does not know the existence of Li Xianhao, it is really Li Xianhao who uses his god-like computer technology to crisscross the stock market, how can anyone find the traces.
Up to now, Li Xianhao's ten Swiss bank accounts, each account has no less than 10 billion US dollars, according to Li Xianhao's words, Americans' money, do not make money in vain, even now that the financial crisis in the United States has begun, Li Xianhao is still planning to make huge profits from it.
Therefore, the two villas of 13 billion won are only worth about 10 million US dollars, how can Li Xianhao put it in his eyes, his villa in Beverly Hills in Hollywood is twice as much.
Out of the intermediary company, Li Xianhao asked Liu Mingyu to drive to the shopping center Myeongdong, driving the newly bought BMW X6 in the world, Liu Mingyu felt particularly energetic, with no less than the off-road performance of the Hummer, as well as the comfort of BMW, more than the BMW X5 has many more functions, this car can be said to make Liu Mingyu very satisfied. However, he was still a little surprised in his heart that Li Xianhao was bold and rich, he had just spent 300 million yuan to buy this luxury car, and then went to see the villa, and it seemed that he had also bought the villa, the speed of spending money made him think that Li Xianhao was a rich second generation who could only spend money.
To Myeongdong is naturally shopping, the new villa needs a variety of furniture and household appliances to decorate, Li Xianhao bought one by one, the computer he cares about the most, is also equipped with a set of top-notch, this shopping, and spent Li Xianhao 500 million won, but compared to the price of the villa, this money is not worth mentioning.
…………
"Abba and Auntie, I'm going to move out, I've already bought a villa in Cheongdam-dong this afternoon, and I'll move in when the room is tidied up. At dinner, Lee Seon-ho proposed to Lee Jae-hyun and Kim Hee-jae the idea of moving out.
"What? you're going to move out?" Kim Hee-jae was so shocked that the silver chopsticks fell on the table, but he didn't bother with it.
"Xianhao, grandma doesn't allow you to move out to live, you have just returned to China for a few days, you will move out to live, what should you do if you call grandma? Aren't you used to living at home? You name it, we will change it for you......" Jin Xi said pleadingly, a little unable to accept Li Xianhao's idea.
"Why would you want to move out?
"Abba, I'm also an adult, I'm able to live independently, and I have my little secrets, you know, and this can also cultivate my own independent character, I think moving out is a good choice. Li Xianhao explained a little, and then comforted Jin Xizai, "Grandma, I want to grow up, you don't want me to be a child who will only grow up in the shadow of my parents, besides, I just live in Qingtan Cave, not abroad, and it will only take more than ten minutes to go home, Grandma, you can rest easy." ”
Li Zaixian knew that Li Xianhao must have his own secrets, and he also agreed with the reason Li Xianhao said, his company will definitely be handed over to Li Xianhao in the future, and now Li Xianhao is such a genius, let him be independent as soon as possible, and he will be able to cultivate his character traits. So Lee Jae-hyun didn't care about Kim Hee-jae's opposition, but said with relief: "It's good that you have such an idea, and an independent personality is a necessary condition for a qualified leader." ”
"Where is the villa in Cheongdam-dong? Is the money enough? Do you want me to fund you a little?" Lee Jae-hyun asked with a nod and a smile.
"No need Abba, I have a little money myself, the villa has been bought, and I am waiting to move things over. Li Xianhao couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, Abba, I am much richer than you, and I don't look down on your money.
"Well, in that case, we'll go over and see it another day. By the way, although you have moved out, you have to come home often, and you look at your grandma, as if you are going to the United States again, haha. ”
Li Xianhao also smiled, and hurriedly comforted Jin Xizai, so that he could say anything, and finally let Jin Xizai accept this decision.
