Chapter 017: Forty Thieves
Although Kim Jong-ming was not intended, Jet Li's appearance still caused a commotion, because compared to the 'world-class star' that Koreans blow out at every turn, this one is a Hollywood action superstar who does not discount in any way. In fact, even on the Chinese side, there is only one Mao Ning who entered later, who can barely speak, but this person has already gone back to rest at this moment, and the remaining Huang Shengyi is not enough to see at all. Therefore, none of the singers in the audience could go up to talk, so they had to watch Jin Zhongming and Jet Li swaying out with a baseball cap in amazement.
However, fortunately, all they saw was Jet Li, if they were to see this afternoon's gathering in a clubhouse, they probably wouldn't even be stunned.
"Mr. Wang, this matter is like this, what is the so-called 'One Foundation, One Family'? That is, each person plus one dollar per month is equal to a big family."
Jin Zhongming listened speechlessly as Jet Li, a tough guy, was as bitter as a country mother-in-law selling his philanthropic ideas to a famous real estate developer, which was exactly the same as the kind of salesman who sells mops to housewives. It's just that this real estate developer is a super-rich man worth tens of billions, and Jet Li, a salesman, is not just a cat or a dog.
"How's it going?" As soon as the big boss surnamed Wang left, Jin Zhongming immediately asked Jet Li curiously about the situation. "How much did this promise?"
"One hundred thousand!" Jet Li replied after taking a sip of water. "Is it ridiculous that he is willing to pay 100,000 yuan? I have been friends with him for five or six years, and he is a big boss worth 10 billion yuan, does it sound like he is begging for food?"
"No!" Kim Jongming shook his head. "It's normal, if you think he's humiliating you, you don't understand charity. Charity in traditional Eastern societies is quite a challenging job, and you have to know how to be in awe of it. ”
"You seem to know what you know?" Jet Li asked in surprise.
"Sometimes you have to admit that there are still some outstanding areas in South Korea's 100 countries, at least among the three East Asian countries, non-governmental philanthropy is the most developed and successful in South Korea. Saying that, Jin Zhongming stretched out his finger and gestured in the same way. "Coal banks in Korea and Korean groups in various foreign regions. But none of this compares to a beautiful foundation, which is the largest and most successful private charity group in South Korea, and a charity that has changed Korean society.
"Are you saying that Korean celebrities will buy rice and donate it in the name of celebrities on their birthdays?" Just as Jet Li and Kim Jong Ming were chatting hotly, a person suddenly interjected from behind and asked.
"Zhong Ming, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Ma, who you asked me to introduce to you, and he is also the chairman of the board of directors of Alibaba. When Jet Li heard this, he immediately stood up and introduced someone to Jin Zhongming.
"Hello. Mr. Ma. Jin Zhongming got up and greeted. "I'm a Korean entertainer named Kim Jong-myeong. ”
"Are you Kim Jong Ming? Kim Jong Ming of South Korea?" Before the future richest man Ma had time to greet him, a bald man who seemed to be following him asked in surprise in half-baked Chinese. "Your Chinese is really the same as rumored, Mr. Jin is looking for Mr. Ma to do business?"
Ma Shoufu glanced back at this person in surprise, and then introduced Jin Zhongming and Jet Li, who were puzzled: "This is Mr. Masayoshi Son from Japan, we happened to be talking about business, I heard that there was a charity party here, so I brought him." Brother Li, you have to entertain people well, this is the richest man in Japan. ”
Is he the richest man in Japan? Kim Jong-ming still had a slight impression of this man in his mind. However, he didn't have the heart to deal with this person, so he just greeted this person again without being humble or arrogant: "It's very exciting to see Mr. Ma here today, and it's even more unexpected to be able to meet Mr. Sun." ”
"It's also a surprise that I can meet Mr. Jin here!" Son Zhengyi grabbed Jin Zhongming's hand and didn't let go. "We at SoftBank are very much looking forward to working with Mr. Kim, and I noticed you back last year when Facebook took off, and I was still wondering when you would build your own business in Korea. I didn't expect to be bumped into by me today. ”
"Mr. Sun!" Jin Zhongming smiled and hugged the other party's shoulder with the same affectionate action, but the meaning of the words was thousands of miles away. "If you have the opportunity, we will definitely cooperate, but today we are all here to attend Brother Li's One Foundation charity gathering, it's not appropriate to talk about business now, right? If you have any ideas, let's talk after the party is over?"
"Good. Okay!" Son Masayoshi has been honed in the mall for many years, and his SoftBank has shares in more than 1,000 IT companies around the world, how could he not understand what Kim Zhongming meant, but he didn't care, just smiled slightly and nodded, then let go of his hand, and then went straight to chat with the group of rich people.
"I thought you were just a star?" Ma Shoufu is a head shorter than Jin Zhongming, but he is indeed a head taller than Jin Zhongming when he speaks. "I'm also interested in Korea, when are we going to talk? When the party is over?"
"Or you can talk about it now. Jet Li, who was watching the whole process, felt a little strange when he looked at Jin Zhongming at this moment. "I'm going to talk to the richest man in Japan about One Fund?"
"No, I don't. Jin Zhongming shook his head. "Although I actually just want to say a few or three words to Mr. Ma, but first of all, we are all here to attend your party, so let's wait for you to finish, and then I can have a casual chat with Mr. Ma. But I still have to trouble Brother Li to accompany him. ”
"It's easy to say!" Jet Li nodded, and then grabbed Ma Shoufufu and chatted with him.
During the whole afternoon party, whether it was Jin Zhongming, Ma Shoufu or Son Zhengyi, they all kept their promises, did not mention a word about business cooperation, and all quietly participated in this charity gathering, even during their leisure time, Ma Shoufu and Jin Zhongming had nothing to do, and they did not get together. In this way, it lasted until the afternoon, and in the evening, the rich people left one by one, and only Jin Zhongming, Jet Li, Ma Shoufu, and Sun Zhengyi, who was actually forced to stick up, were left in the huge club.
Jet Li, as the middleman and the host of the party, just beckoned the waiter to serve a pot of tea, and then sat in the corner and squinted his eyes, he is not a fool, how could he not understand that Jin Zhongming actually has a lot to do with Facebook, the hottest American IT company, since people want to talk about business, they just have a correct posture.
"I'll say it first!" Just as Jin Zhongming and Ma Shoufu were about to speak, Son Zhengyi unexpectedly opened his mouth first. "No matter what Mr. Kim is going to talk about, but according to my understanding, you should lack sufficient start-up capital, and we are willing to invest a considerable amount of money, and we can directly find someone here to draw up a contract for less than 100 million US dollars. ”
As soon as these words came out, the sneer on Ma Shoufu's face couldn't be hidden.
"But why should I invest in you?" Jin Zhongming asked lightly. "As you said, my money is indeed firmly tied to Facebook, but I can also use this thing to mortgage and go directly to the bank for a loan?"
"Ahh "It seems that Mr. Jin still doesn't trust me, but I don't need your trust, we don't talk secretly, you are indeed worth a lot, but as far as I know, you gave all your voting rights to Mr. Mark Zuckerberg in order to buy shares. Then I want to ask Mr. Kim, if he knew that you actually took out a loan with shares, what do you think he would do with his importance to Facebook?"
Jin Zhongming scolded in his heart, but his face was still smiling.
"There is no need to quibble, our SoftBank is taking advantage of people's danger, that is, to take advantage of capital, because we SoftBank is in this business, and I will never hide this fact. "Son Zhengyi is not stumbling when he speaks Chinese at the moment, he is really a set. "But I still hope that Mr. Jin can think rationally, if you really do anything, it is the safest to choose our investment, we have shares in thousands of companies around the world is not simply gambling by vision, if you choose our investment, then the entire more than 1,000 IT companies will naturally form an alliance with you, and a number of services will be optimized, which is why many companies that hate us finally chose us. ”
"Mr. Ma. Jin Zhongming did not answer Sun Zhengyi directly, but turned his head to look at Ma Shoufu, and opened the case. "I set up a Korean e-commerce company that connects with your company. ”
"I've been to South Korea. Ma Shoufu didn't pay attention to Son, but had a frank discussion with Jin Zhongming. "But to be honest, on the one hand, I desperately want to open up the situation on the Korean side, but on the other hand, I am not optimistic about the prospects on the other side. ”
"Is it because of the monopoly of large enterprises?" replied Jin Zhongming as expected.
"Yes!" Ma nodded. "Extreme xenophobia and monopoly by large corporations in related fields. ”
"Specifically, I can't do anything about extreme xenophobia, it requires a gradual increase in exchanges between the two countries, and we need relevant government policies, and we can work towards this, but we can't shake the status quo in a short period of time. Jin Zhongming flicked it and admitted it a little helplessly. "But even so, it doesn't mean that this business can't be done, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Brother Li to introduce you on my behalf from the first half of this year. ”
