Chapter 055 The Night Banquet of the Wealthy Family
This is an impromptu dinner for Kim Jong-myung, he is actually the only guest of honor, and the initiator and liaison of the banquet is Lee Bo-jin, the host is Choi Tae-won, and the main escort is Lee Hae-jin, as for the other things that seem to be full of grandeur, they are all added to the head, and Lee Boo-jin and Choi Tae-won naturally gather here as soon as they stop here.
What do you say about Choi Tae-won's appearance? With a big rosacea nose and a face full of meat, the villainous character of the big boss in standard comics, you don't need makeup to play those gangster bosses. But as soon as he talked to Jin Zhongming, he found out what it means to be a person, the other party's cultural level and speech art are very high, at least much stronger than Li Fuzhen, who is beautiful and beautiful next to him.
"Mr. Jin Zhongming is really a big deal!" After some politeness, Hong Shengcheng and Zheng Rihai stayed downstairs, while the rest of the people let each other to the second floor of a brightly lit hall inside the manor, but as soon as they sat down, people came over to greet each other.
"This is Director Hwang of our SK Group, and his son is also in Silicon Valley, so he is very amazed by the development of Facebook!" Chey Tae-won introduced them one by one with a smile.
And Kim Jong Ming also knows what is going on with this group of people, this group of people is the foundation of large companies such as Samsung, SK, and Hyundai, and their worth is probably only tens of millions of dollars, and hundreds of millions of dollars are all people who were swallowed up when these large companies were developing, and they are the basic components of the so-called Korean giants, and they are naturally the basic components of Cheongdam-dong. They generally control some branches in various ways to maintain their independence, but at the same time they cling to form monsters like big conglomerates to eat others. They will not easily interfere in the operation of large conglomerates, nor will they easily show their heads. After all, being the boss is too risky. At every turn, you will be thrown into prison by the South Korean elite, and your family will be ruined. But on the other hand, Choi Tae-won, the leading big brothers, will not move them easily, after all, they are in a symbiotic relationship, and Choi Tae-won also needs their support.
And this is the secret of the so-called strong chaebol in South Korea, which is actually parasitic and symbiotic through cross-holding, and finally cobbled together into a large monopoly business group.
People dialed in, Choi Tae-won introduced them, and Kim Jong-ming also greeted him with a smile. However, no one cares about anyone. This group of people probably learned through some channels that Jin Zhongming seems to be very rich in the United States, but in South Korea, he has neither a big industry nor a deep foundation, just a small shrimp, so they simply regard Jin Zhongming as a rich American who came to South Korea as a guest, and Jin Zhongming doesn't care, because he doesn't want to get involved with these people at all.
In this way, after rounds of entertainment, Jin Zhongming finally brought up the topic.
"Recently, I want to set up a company but lack capital turnover, I don't know if Chairman Cui has any extra inches? ”
"Absolutely. Choi Tae-won said with a smile. "I remember that your investment company had a stake in Facebook. That company is about to take off, and I think it's already beating Myspace, right? Some of our companies are already working on a stock swap. 50 billion won is tens of millions of dollars, but I want you to understand that this number has reached an order of magnitude, and it is better for us to sign a formal mortgage note. ”
"Of course!" Kim Jong Ming smiled and nodded. "I'm willing to pledge my shares in Facebook, but I hope this matter doesn't go out for now, I'm worried that Mark will have ideas. ”
"To put it mildly, I really hope your business fails!" Choi Tae-won joked. "I thought you would mortgage your Tmall in Busan!"
"How can he be reluctant?" Li Fuzhen interjected with a smile. "That e-commerce has only been open for a few days? It's unexpectedly popular, and our Samsung mobile phones are now all online and their shelves. ”
"Yes, seeing that it is a very successful e-commerce, and the location is also very accurate, and it directly looks at the vacancy of China-South Korea small commodity trade, and Lotte has nothing to say. Li Haizhen also echoed with a smile.
"That's Parker's job. Jin Zhongming replied with emotion. "Seriously, it's not that I don't know the market of Facebook's three accounts a day, but it's just a number to me after all, so I can play a numbers game with them with peace of mind, but I cherish every plant and tree here. ”
"That's right!" Choi Tae-won was stunned for a moment. "It's very reasonable, I thought that you, who grew up in the United States, have a different mind than our side, and the United States always laughs at us people for being misers and not knowing how to be flexible, in fact, how can those Americans understand the hardships of South Korea while easily doubling their worth?"
"Yes!" Kim Jong-ming, who is very familiar with the differences between China, the United States and South Korea, agrees. This is obvious, for example, the richest man in the world can only be an American at the moment, and eighty percent of them need to be of Jewish descent. I'm not worried about why Mark took Facebook to fight MySpace so hard a few days ago, because I know that eighty percent of the people who control this market will be a Jew. On the other hand, Asia's richest man could have appeared in Japan or Hong Kong before, but in the future, nine times out of ten will appear in China. And a Korean, to put it mildly, is not qualified to control so much wealth, which has nothing to do with business. ”
"That's why you're investing separately?" asked Choi Tae-won thoughtfully. "The United States used it as capital, and then used it as a credential to borrow Chinese money to do Chinese business, and then asked me to borrow money to do Korean business. Anyway, what are you going to do in South Korea? 50 billion won, no more, no less, and he came in with representative Cha Seung-jae. ”
Kim Jong Ming smiled but did not speak.
"That's such a representative!" Cha Seung-jae stood up with a spirit, he didn't pay attention to what these people said, because he had been thinking about the matter of 'this guy really borrowed 50 billion from SK's Choi family privately' since he reached an agreement with Kim Jong-myung's big boss behind the scenes, so he reacted so badly when Kim Jong-myung laughed at him.
"Sit down!" Choi Tae-won waved his hand kindly.
"Yes. Cha Seung-jae sat down and told the story 1510.
"So, it's not a business at all. Kim Jong-myung explained to Choi Tae-won as he pondered his sentences. "I've been determined to go this way since I was 11 years old when I came across film, it's not a hobby, in fact, I've always had a side hustle on the business side, and that's the fundamental thing for me. I didn't have any money before, but now that the contract has expired and thanks to your generosity, then I am ready to give myself a home in the entertainment industry, so I didn't regard it as a career, nor did I think about it as a way to do great development, I just sought a home. ”
"Then it's time for me to apologize to you. Choi Tae-won replied indifferently. "Seungjae, he doesn't know the situation, since you want this batch of JYP talents, then it's good for you. ”
"Thank you!" Jin Zhongming nodded, and felt a lot more relieved, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, the other party pulled his face and he actually had nothing to do, but the other party was a businessman after all, and he needed to consider his long-term interests, so he put down this piece of small green vegetables that were not enough to stuff his teeth.
"Don't think about it too much. Choi Tae-won turned his head and comforted Cha Seung-jae. "From a business point of view, there is nothing wrong with what you did, and I signed it, but our information is wrong, so we are all responsible and have no responsibility, this matter is over, and I will help Zhong Ming in that circle in the future." ”
"Definitely!" Cha Seung-jae let out a sigh.
"How's it going?" Choi Tae-won comforted his subordinates and then turned his head to look at Kim Jong-myeong. "If you want to borrow money from me, why don't you just choose to buy a building from me? I happen to have a very good property in Jiangnan near Jamsil, so if you borrow less and the pressure is smaller, I can make a deal on my side." ”
"Chairman Choi is really good at business!" Kim Jong-ming thought for a moment, and he found that he couldn't resist this suggestion. "I can sell favors and do business, and I can reduce the risk of funds, but this matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”
"Of course!" Choi Tae-won laughed. "You can make another decision in three months, whether it's money or the building, I'll keep it for you. ”
"That," Kim stood up and picked up a glass of red wine from the side. "I'm going to have to toast you. ”
"I'm ashamed!" Choi Tae-won's rosacea nose sparkled in the light.
After talking about the matter, the time was too early, and Jin Zhongming couldn't leave, but he really didn't want to go downstairs to socialize like Li Fuzhen and others, so he had no choice but to sneak into a corner of the second floor with a wine glass, staring at the light outside the window in a daze.
"The lights are on the four sides of the city, and the stars are in the middle of the water!" I don't know how long it took, but the downstairs was still lively, and Jin Zhongming didn't know what was going on, listening to the noise in the banquet hall and looking at the lights outside the window and remembered this poem.
"Zhong Ming is really interested!" Li Haizhen walked over with a slightly alcoholic glass.
"I said this sentence in a long time, but you were heard by the senior. Jin Zhongming smiled bitterly.
"I didn't want to come here, but when I heard your ancient Tang poem, my heart was moved all of a sudden. Li Haizhen replied with a flushed face, it seemed that he was already drunk. "Isn't it strange that my Chinese language is so high? I actually don't know many Tang poems, this is one of them, I know the meaning of this poem, and I also understand your meaning. ”
Jin Zhongming turned his head in surprise.
"Are you hesitating, are you excited, are you afraid?" asked Li Haizhen as she reached out and grabbed Kim Jong-ming's shoulder and stared into his eyes. "That's right! Do you know why I understand you? Because five years ago, this was here, and I was just like you!"
