Chapter 296 Changling Rain (II)

At noon, Bukwangsa Temple, Busan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the continuous autumn rain, Kim Jong Ming and Zhao Liang Ho were sitting cross-legged opposite each other in a pavilion in the back garden of the temple, with a few plates of vegetarian food on the low table in front of them, and an old monk was sitting in the corner of the pavilion not far away with a prayer bead......

Looking closely, Kim Jong-ming was eating, the chubby Zhao Lianghao was watching, and the skinny old monk was laughing.

That said, Busan's Fokwangsa Temple, located across from East-West University, is not a particularly well-known temple. In terms of cultural tourism value, it is far inferior to the Longmen Temple behind him, and in terms of natural scenery, it is not as good as the Haeguang Temple on its west side, and in terms of foundation, this temple that is a mixture of Pure Land Buddhism and Zen Buddhism is even more despised by Korean Buddhist bosses such as Jogye Buddhism (Zen Buddhism......

But how to say it? After entering the modern society, this temple still stubbornly found its own survival routine. Well, to be specific, it sells vegetarian food, sells high-end vegetarian food, and to put it bluntly, it is to open a private club that does not pay taxes. So, the role that the old monk plays here...... To put it bluntly, it's actually just a table waiter in a high-end French restaurant in Cheongdam-dong.

Of course, it's a little more upscale.

"This vegetarian meal tastes good, doesn't it?"

The two sides didn't say much during the meal, but seeing Jin Zhongming eat a few plates of vegetarian food three times by five, Zhao Lianghao finally couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.

It's like...... He suddenly found some kind of superiority.

Jin Zhongming shook his head unceremoniously, and at this moment, Zhao Lianghao put away his smile together with the old monk of Foguang Temple who was sitting on the side and kept smiling.

"Mr. Jin, where is the hospitality not good?" the old monk asked with a little embarrassment.

"That's not what it means. Jin Zhongming waved his hand casually, and then explained expressionlessly. "Thank you, vegetarian food is really good, but I think President Zhao may have misunderstood in some aspects, so I shook my head...... The reason why I ate so quickly was not because of how it tasted, but because the amount was too small. ā€

The old monk and Zhao Lianghao were stunned together.

"I think this may be the guests that your temple entertains on weekdays, and all of them are old people like President Zhao. Jin Zhongming chuckled lightly. "Of course, it's okay for people in their fifties and sixties to have such a vegetarian diet, and it's even good for the body, but a young man in his twenties like me can give me such a ...... It's barely full. ā€

At this moment, Zhao Lianghao was inevitably a little embarrassed, of course he could understand the ridicule in the other party's words, but Jin Zhongming was talking to this monk, and he couldn't speak.

"Indeed......" As a part-time owner of a high-end private club, the old monk who is used to seeing the world can of course see that there seems to be some subtlety between the two guests in front of him, but these two people are high-ranking figures to him, and he has nothing to do with himself, so he naturally has to pretend not to understand. "That'...... Would you like to get another one for you?"

"Not really. Jin Zhongming shook his head again and again. "President Zhao asked me out to talk about things, to eat or something...... Just give a full stomach for four points. ā€

"I see. The old monk immediately got up. "Lao Wei still has some mundane things in the temple to be busy, go first, the scenery in the garden is good, the two of you ...... at will"

"Great monk, please. Jin Zhongming waved his hand casually.

"Elder, please. Zhao Lianghao also nodded casually.

So, the old monk picked up his umbrella and walked faster.

However, seeing the bald monk walking away quickly, Jin Zhongming couldn't help but laugh.

"Zhong Ming, what are you laughing at?" Zhao Lianghao was slightly puzzled.

"I'm laughing at this monk, and he's almost on fire. Jin Zhongming glanced at the old monk's back and smiled. "He should have made an oil-paper umbrella, such a golf umbrella on the top of his head, and the atmosphere created by the 'old man' and 'vulgar thing' before is gone...... It's a drama!"

"It's true. Zhao Lianghao turned his head to look at the old monk's umbrella with a huge trademark on his head, and couldn't help shaking his head, but he inadvertently swayed a circle of fat on his chin. "Not dedicated at all. ā€

"Yes, whatever you do these years is about dedication. Jin Zhongming flattened his legs as he spoke, and then leaned towards the pavilion pillar behind him. "The loan shark knows that there will be a conference every few years to reduce the interest together, not to mention the monk whose situation is more complicated? But to be honest, this old man still has to be pretentious, in fact, it is difficult for him. ā€

"That's true, too. Zhao Liangho sighed slightly. "However, once people are in certain positions, there are some things that you can't do if you want to do it, otherwise you will be rejected by the big guys. On the other hand, when you get to a certain position, you have to do something to be accepted by the big guys......"

"Why don't you come here for a full-bodied vegetarian meal?" asked Jin Zhongming with a smile.

"Not necessarily. Zhao Lianghao laughed dryly. "Just like you said, this kind of vegetarian food is actually just a quiet and healthy health for us old men, and it is really difficult for you to come to Zhong Ming. However, there are also places for young people to go, such as racecourses in Gangwon-do, golf courses in Chungcheong-do, and speedways at night in Seoul......"

"President Zhao asked me to race with those second ancestors?" Jin Zhongming listened inexplicably.

"Of course, it's not for you to play with those junk dim sum, in fact, if Zhong Ming thinks that these things don't suit your cultivation and identity, you can actually try to watch a musical or simply go to some specific churches to participate in a theological discussion......

Jin Zhongming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed angrily, because he finally understood what the other party meant: "Is Chairman Zhao suggesting that I go on a blind date? Find a rich man's daughter as his girlfriend?"

"Be a wife. Zhao Liangho replied seriously. "Just being a wife. As far as we know, you don't have a chaebol girlfriend outside the circle as rumored by the outside world, you should just have an idol girlfriend......"

"Good one...... 'just'. To tell the truth, the unhappiness in Jin Zhongming's heart was suddenly extinguished by the other party's two words in an instant, because he found that his three views were really different from these people in the DNA stage. "Didn't Chairman Zhao come to me today to say that he wanted to bring a message to some friends, how did he become a matchmaker?"

"Actually. Rao is Zhao Lianghao's three views are very different from the young man in front of him, Rao is a person who is already in his sixties, but he is also a little embarrassed for a while. "This is what a few friends asked me to convey on my behalf......"

Jin Zhongming was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and took two sips of the tea on the coffee table, but he didn't mean to speak...... Obviously, he was waiting for the other party's explanation.

"I also know that such words do seem a bit child's play, but from the side, it can also show our sincerity. "Zhao Liangho is the one who is capable of kicking his younger brother out of the house as soon as his father dies, and he returns to normal with a little determination.

"What the hell do you mean by that?" Kim put back the teacup.

"Zhong Ming, there are rules in this country after all, since you want to enter a certain level, you must first reassure your friends at this level no matter what. Zhao Liangho's words are conclusive. "Of course, we also know that, firstly, you are too far away from us old men, and your hobbies and habits are destined to be different from ours, just like today's vegetarian food, of course we can understand; So, at first, we didn't mean to bother you......"

"And now?" asked Jin Zhongming disapprehantly.

"Now. Zhao Lianghao sighed slightly. "Now let's be honest, what you've done in the past six months has made us a little frightened. Actually, of course, we can understand that you want to cash out the property, but why can't we do more things like the Mega Cinema Line? Even if there are more things bought from foreigners, we have nothing to say. But CJ's industry, Zhong Ming, you can't help but look too ugly, right?"

Not to mention that Chairman Lee Jae-hyun killed himself. Jin Zhongming didn't care at all. "I also had a position on that acquisition......

"I get that. Zhao Lianghao nodded sadly. "You got Ms. Park's endorsement for that acquisition, which is why we didn't say anything. But Zhong Ming, let's be reasonable, the things that Chairman Lee Jae-hyun has done this year are certainly a bit unbelievable, and his style of acting is indeed too intense. But in any case, it belongs to other people's family infighting after all, and it seems that we people shouldn't mix it indiscriminately, right? But it's good for you to go up and bite off the little half of CJ directly when you go up, bite it, anyway, Chairman Lee Jae-hyun himself died first, but you also sheltered Lee Jae-hyun's sister and younger brother, isn't this obviously involved in other people's family affairs? So Zhong Ming, what do you think about this matter?"

Jin Zhongming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the other party almost said that some people in Samsung were a little unhappy with him......

But think about it, the Samsung Li family is not only Lee Kun-hee's family and Lee Mengxi's family, they also have a bunch of sisters and sisters, and they also married half of the Korean business community with their children, and they also want to benefit from their brothers' infighting. Now seeing the biggest piece of meat being bitten down by himself, it is natural for people to be unhappy.

As soon as he thought of this, Jin Zhongming seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know what was going on, he actually endured it again, and finally just smiled slightly, and then stared at the rain line outside the pavilion and was stunned, and did not mean to answer.

"There's also the integration of theaters this time. Zhao Lianghao waited for a while, and seeing that the other party didn't answer, he had to continue to talk to himself. "You are not satisfied with half of the screens and theaters in South Korea, and you still have to use the proceeds of the theater chain to win people's hearts...... It's not that it can't be done, but it's enough to cut the meat of those small theaters, so why should LT theaters keep an eye on it? Vice President Xin Dongbin also had a lot of complaints. ā€

Jin Zhongming still looked sideways at the outside of the pavilion, and he didn't mean to interface, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth was obviously a little bigger...... LT didn't dare to resist the anger of the entire Korean filmmakers, so he could only let himself cut a large piece of meat, and of course Xin Dongbin was 10,000 unhappy.

"And the SK thing, it is said that because you didn't negotiate a little business before, you turned your face with Chairman Choi in his private residence...... Why bother?"

Kim Jong Ming continued to stare at the autumn rain, as if it were such an interesting scene.

"Zhong Ming, if these things before are okay one by one, it is not so simple to take some things. Seeing that the other party was still unmoved, Zhao Lianghao suddenly turned positive, as if he wanted to see the dagger. "I only want to ask you one thing, why do you want to put the entire Korean movie in your pocket now, and want to dominate this industry?"

"Not by anything. Jin Zhongming finally opened his mouth with a smile. "It's just a matter of letting things be. I am an actor, I studied under the most outstanding film actors in Korea, and then I have always had a good relationship with my peers in the education industry and the media, and now that the theater chain is in hand, I have bridged the gap with the directors in a blink of an eye, so I have to ask Chairman Cho, why can't I monopolize this industry?"

"That's the problem. Zhao Lianghao couldn't wait to straighten up and speak. "Zhong Ming, the Korean film industry is not a pancake and fruit chain or something, it not only has great economic benefits, it is not only an art, but also a thing with a huge social function......

"Chairman Zhao. Jin Zhongming listened a little impatiently. "I know better than you what a movie is, I don't need you to popularize science, if I don't understand this, how did I make "The Crucible" in the first place?"

"In that case, I'll be blunt. Zhao Lianghao also became more serious. "We hope that the person in charge of Korean cinema is a fellow practitioner, at least someone who can reassure us......"

Jin Zhongming couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"We don't expect you to jam the necks of those angry youths and make them stop taunting and attacking us, and we naturally won't think about things that the Japanese and Park Chung-hee have not done. Zhao Lianghao continued to state seriously. "But at least you can't indulge or just add to the fire, right? We people ......."

"Wait a minute. Jin Zhongming suddenly stretched out his hand to interrupt the other party's words. "Who are we?"

"Hah?!" Zhao Lianghao was slightly stunned, and was actually asked.

"I mean, who do you mean by 'us' that Chairman Cho keeps saying?" Kim Jong-ming emphasized.

"Why does Zhong Ming pretend to be a cultivator?" After coming back to his senses, Zhao Lianghao couldn't help but laugh dryly. "Who can there be? It's just the two of us here, let's put it bluntly, it's nothing more than a calamity chaebol that everyone shouts and beats, but everyone can't leave!"

"To be more specific?" Kim Jong-ming asked playfully.

"Zhong Ming, why do you bother?" Zhao Lianghao shook his head again and again, and once again brought a circle of fat around his neck. "Although there are many Korean consortia, judging from the economic statements in the first half of this year, the turnover of the top ten groups has accounted for 80% of the national GDP in the first half of the year, and the top four account for two-thirds, so it is just these few......

"I get that. Kim Jong Ming grinned. "South Korea's economy is inseparable from the chaebol, and the South Korean government is inseparable from the chaebol, every politician declares that he wants to restrict the chaebol, but after he cheats the votes and comes to power, he always chooses to cooperate with the chaebol, otherwise the economy will not be able to stand it......"

Zhao Lianghao laughed dryly, but did not refute: "In short, Zhong Ming, you don't need to pretend to be confused, if you have to want a specific name, I can also say the name directly...... Samsung, SK, LT...... Aren't these three enough?"

"Indeed, each of these three names is like a mountain to me. Jin Zhongming nodded seriously. "Actually, there is no need for these three, how can it not be the case for me that the tenth-ranked Hanjin Group is not the same? Chairman Zhao, although you are only worth 400 million US dollars, which is only one-tenth of mine, your family has a mutual control of more than 50 subsidiaries of the Hanjin Group, and firmly controls the world's fifth largest logistics company. Therefore, when it comes to influence in South Korea, even you, Chairman Cho, are not comparable to me at all. ā€

Zhao Lianghao laughed again, he felt that although he had a lot of tongues before, smart people are smart people after all, and it is quite simple to talk to smart people.

"It's just President Zhao, I still don't understand a little bit, I hope you can solve your doubts. ā€

Say. Cho Yangho's smile was still the same.

Jin Zhongming turned his head again to look at the rain line falling on the side of the pavilion, and the unpleasant arc of the other party's mouth at the corner of his mouth before also appeared again: "Since it is clear that any one of the three families can press me down with a wave of his hand, why do these three families have to be together, and they are not looking for me directly, but looking for President Zhao, the fourth family who lives in seclusion on weekdays, as a representative, to come and talk to me about this matter?"

Zhao Lianghao's face froze, and his smile disappeared immediately.

"I'll just say it!" Kim Jongming said unceremoniously. "First of all, Samsung Lee's status in South Korea is unquestionable, and they have 10,000 ways to bring me to my knees. But it's a pity that there is a chairman Lee Jae-hyun who used to be a wise and powerful warrior, but today he is like a mad dog, and now he is biting their family and not letting go. Let's be reasonable, if Lee Jae-hyun doesn't go to prison for a day, this crazy farce won't end, and no one in their entire Li family will have any room for respite. Even to say one more digression, Chairman Lee Kun-hee is probably not in good health at this time? In this case, Korean movies are certainly very interesting, and it is quite unpleasant for the Lee family to buy some properties together with Lee Jae-hyun's sister and brother, but in any case, this is not a reason for those people to be distracted!"

This time it was Zhao Liangho's turn to pretend to turn his head and stare at the autumn rain in the garden next to him in a daze.

"And lt. Jin Zhongming continued to taunt. "Let me say something ugly, Vice President Xin Dongbin has to solve his own father and brother with his mother first, and then he has the energy to discuss the problem with me, right? And even if he wants to discuss the problem with me, he has to figure out whether he is a Japanese company or a Korean company, right? Otherwise, not to mention the victory or defeat, I still have the ability to incite national sentiment and bite them hard, 10% of the LT cinema chain Although the turnover is a large amount of income, whether it is worth it to turn my face against the pressure of all Korean filmmakers is another question. ā€

Zhao Lianghao seemed to want to say something, but he still couldn't bear it.

"And SK...... There was no obvious infighting in Chairman Chey Tae-won's house, because his brothers and cousins were all very convinced of him, why? Because Chairman Choi sacrificed too much for SK, and took a dictator's daughter as his wife, but he was not happy and didn't say anything. But because of this, he is the most pathetic one in every election against the chaebol target, anyway, the Korean cooking faction remembers his father-in-law's blood feud, and the conservatives also remember the bullshit about his cousin's marriage to the director of the CIA!

Zhao Lianghao couldn't help coughing dryly, and he didn't know if it was a real cough or a fake cough, but there was no doubt that when the young man on the other side of the coffee table said the next sentence, he must have really coughed......

"And Han Jin. Jin Zhongming stared directly at the old fat man in front of him. "Hanjin is big, but ...... The fourth brother, the fourth president who was kicked out of the house and turned against you in the past, is now the most valuable, President Zhao should be quite worried, right?"

Zhao Lianghao covered his mouth with a handkerchief, unable to speak at all.

"Then your right-hand man, your most trusted third brother, Mr. Cho so-ho, who is in charge of Hanjin Shipping, the other pole of the Hanjin Group, died so early...... Leaving a Mrs. Cui but not understanding anything, how much Han Jin Shipping can lose in her hands over the years. President Zhao, you should be very helpless in your heart, right?"

Zhao Lianghao finally stopped coughing, but he couldn't help but look up and sigh...... To tell the truth, nothing else is fine, as long as his third child is still alive, how can Han Jin have so many things?

"And your second brother, Mr. Cho Nam-ho, is now getting closer and closer to your richer fourth brother...... President Zhao, you're annoyed, aren't you?"

Cho Liangho was even more speechless.

"And look at your weight...... There is no meaning of slander, let's objectively comment on your posture, and then think of your usual seclusion and like to eat vegetarian, which shows that President Zhao's body is probably not very good? There are also your two sons and one daughter......

"Don't say it!" Zhao Lianghao simply waved his hand. "You're right...... Zhong Ming, otherwise why do you think no one has touched you? It's not that we don't know our own problems, everyone has their own problems, we know that no one has moved you in a short period of time, and we have to free up our hands...... Hell knows what you were tossing back then. So, we didn't want to play hard with you, I came to you today just to solve the problem in the kind of gentle way I just mentioned. ā€

Kim Jong-ming was noncommittal.

"Zhong Ming. Zhao Lianghao said earnestly. "You just asked me, obviously those three companies have a direct relationship with your business, but why did I come to talk to you...... Let me tell you, my eldest daughter-in-law is surnamed Xin, my second daughter-in-law's mother is surnamed Li, and my third brother and sister are also the nieces of Mr. Xin, and their surname is Cui! So of course I can talk to you on their behalf! Moreover, ...... Let's talk about my brother and sister Choi Eun-young, didn't you say that she didn't understand anything, and then Han Jin Haihai lost so many years in her hands? This is true! But I want to ask rhetorically, if it weren't for her surname Cui and the cousin of Chairman Xin Dongbin, Han Jin Haihai would have survived until now?"

Kim Jong-ming grinned again.

"We really don't ask for much. After hurriedly saying the previous paragraph, the obese Zhao Lianghao was already out of breath. "The Cui family, the Xin family, my family, and even other shareholders in our group, everyone is an old man and an old lady, there are many children and grandchildren, some are girls of the right age, you want to be beautiful and beautiful, you want to be gentle and gentle, as long as you pick one to marry, we can rest assured, you can also rest assured...... Why not?"

"Chairman Zhao. Jin Zhongming laughed. "How can I listen to what you mean, could it be that you want to push Jiang Minjing out again? I'm getting tired of this name now by you......"

"Jiang Minjing is okay, Lao Jiang's granddaughter, although why not? The key is not which one, nor which one you like, and even if you are really annoyed, then you will separate directly after marrying, and then continue to live with your little girlfriend. We just want to see you use this way to submit your name to this circle!" As soon as the words fell, Zhao Liangho gasped again.

"Then I'll just say it. After hearing this, Jin Zhongming no longer hesitated, but simply stood up and put on his shoes, and then walked to the edge of the gazebo. "I'll give you a name, but not for you!"

Zhao Lianghao's face turned completely dark: "What does Zhong Ming mean by this?"

That's what Chairman Zhao thought. Jin Zhongming picked up a golf umbrella placed on the edge of the gazebo, but did not open it, but stood on the edge of the steps with the umbrella. "First of all, you don't have to worry about who I marry. Secondly, as a member of Korean cinema, I will definitely stand firm and insist on taking the lead in criticizing the chaebols......"

"What are you...... Why?"

"President Zhao, let's talk for a long time, have you noticed that you still have a question that you haven't answered me. Jin Zhongming continued to answer with his umbrella. "That's it...... Why can't I monopolize this industry? Tell me, why can't I be the emperor of Korean films?"

Cho Yangho's Adam's apple twitched, in stark contrast to the circle of collapsed fat on his neck.

"Can't answer, right?" Jin Zhongming sneered. "Then let me ask a few more questions...... I instigated Lee Jae-hyun to go crazy? I provoked Shin Dong-bin and his father and brother to tear him apart? Choi Tae-won married a former president's daughter, and I made the matchmaker? I directed the drama series of the grievances and hatreds of the four Hanjin brothers? Chairman Cho, let me be blunt, the fact that you made such a request today can only explain one thing...... That is, you can't do anything about me! You don't have a problem with what I want to do! So, a group of people who take me without a problem, I still stick it with my eyes, am I really cheap?!"

Cho Yang Ho took a deep breath, obviously no longer wanting to speak.

"Thank you for the hospitality, for the sake of this vegetarian meal, I'll remind you again, Han Jin Haihai is no longer saved...... It's not just your younger sibling's problem, it's the general environment that should have collapsed a long time ago. As far as Chairman Zhao is worth you, taking out tens of millions of dollars is just a meat bun beating a dog, and maybe your fourth brother will find an opportunity to taunt you......"

"I still don't quite understand. Zhao Lianghao finally relieved his breath again. "Even if you don't have a chance to touch you in the past two years, what about in two years?

"President Zhao, there are some things that are like heavy rain on this long ridge, and there is no way to avoid it. Jin Zhongming replied with a frown. "So, the kind of situation you are talking about may indeed happen, but if you are afraid before it happens, then what is it? Besides, even if it happens, as long as the foundation is stable and you walk slowly, will you definitely slide into the nest of the mountain?"

Speaking of this, Jin Zhongming raised the golf umbrella in his hand that had not been opened: "Besides, I still have crutches!"

After speaking, Jin Zhongming didn't hold an umbrella, but walked directly into the rain curtain with the handle of the umbrella as a crutch. Zhao Lianghao, who watched this scene, was dumbfounded, but he could only secretly sigh that the other party was much younger than himself...... Because compared to his own old bones full of fat, no matter what, the other party can afford to play.

P.S.: I discovered an amazing fact, I missed a full 7 days of updates this month, but there were still a whopping 155k total word count updates...... Curious!

By the way, there is also a book friend group 457160898, everyone add it.
