At nine o'clock in the evening, Kwon was talking to people at an art reception on Linboulevard, his fifteenth reception since returning to Seoul from the Xiangjiang River last week.

No way, the profession of broker is like this, it is one thing to get money and make a big move, after all, a business is negotiated, and I don't know how much real money will be in hand in minutes, but on the other hand, there are many places that need to be dotted, and it is common to soak in various social occasions for thirty days a month.

In fact, one of Quan Ningyi's own records is that he has more than 40 consecutive days of drinking parties and night shows, during which time he traveled from Los Angeles to Xiangjiang, from Xiangjiang to Seoul, and the three religions and nine streams are omnipresent. But there is really no way, the profession of broker is to grasp as much information as possible, and then connect all kinds of people and grab benefits in the asymmetric exchange of information. In a sense, communication is one of their basic jobs.

Probably because of this, when he received a call from Xiao Yuan, Quan Ning made a wise choice without thinking about it, he pressed the phone, and then continued to communicate with the two artists in front of him...... The reason is of course very simple, these two people in front of him are worth a lot of money, and they obviously want to really buy an industry, work hard, maybe it will be done tonight! As for Xiaoyuan's side, to be honest, he got to know each other at the beginning to find an entry point, and the company's artists established an interpersonal network, and now he has successfully cut in, although he has not completely cut in, but the value of this Jin Xiaoyuan has also dropped significantly.

"If the two of them are really interested in the hotel industry. Quan Ningyi put away the phone with one hand and continued to hold the wine glass in encouragement. "Whether it's Xianggang or Seoul or Jeju Island, I have options here, but I especially recommend choosing Jeju Island. There is no need to say much, there are so many tourists in the Chinese mainland now, the tourism market is so hot, the so-called people are stupid and have a lot of money, many people want to mix a sum, but they are lonely, there is no capital for those with industry experience, and there is no way for those with funds......"

"Mr. Quan. At this moment, the beautiful female artist named Song Jihyo suddenly interrupted the other party with a smile. "Don't you have to answer the phone? How did I see the name that looks like Girls' Generation Xiaoyuan at a glance just now? You hang her up like this, aren't you afraid that she will be angry?"

"It's fine. Quan Ning knew that he had met Xiaoyuan's acquaintance, but his face still did not change. "I'm good friends with Hyo-yeon, and she should have asked me to go out...... Why, the two of you are also familiar with Xiaoyuan?"

Gary and Song Jihyo glanced at each other, and both saw something in each other's gazes.

"Mr. Kwon is also in the girls' generation business?" asked Gary Masashik. "Their net worth is good, and the brand image is a golden signboard, but everyone is in the contract, right? Some investment projects are very sensitive, and the company is not easy to explain, right?"

If you want to make money, you have to pay attention to the rules of everything, and Koreans hate this the most! Quan Ning scolded secretly in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face: "Mr. Jiang said that he was joking, how could I let them invest in the company behind their backs? Think about it, I am a Korean-American, running in Xiangjiang, South Korea, and the United States, without any foundation, and I want to make a fortune with harmony, and because I am mainly engaged in business in the entertainment industry, I am also clear about the rules of the entertainment industry, how can a local snake like the company be easily provoked? Actually, although I helped them with some projects, the company agreed to ......"

"Then who is Mr. Kwon familiar with in Girls' Generation?" Song Jihyo suddenly interrupted the other party with a smile again.

"Hyoyeon, Pani, Suyoung...... Also, there is that Miss Zheng Xiuyan. Quan Ning gave a few names after a little thought.

"Are you familiar with Sika too?" Gary also looked strange, but his expression was always strange, and the other party didn't notice it for a while.

"Of course. Quan Ning was immediately shocked, and his title changed. "Mr. Jiang, you also know that after all, I came back from the United States, and Miss Sika and I naturally have some common topics, so although we have known each other for a short time, we quickly hit it off...... I'd like to hear that Mr. Jiang and you are also familiar with Miss Sika?"

"Mr. Kwon should go answer the phone!" Song Jihyo glanced at Gary with a strange face, and then reminded the person opposite with a smile again. "Girls' phone calls should still be respectful. ”

Quan Ningyi obviously noticed that something was wrong, he instinctively thought that maybe Jin Xiaoyuan had a great relationship with the two in front of him, or that this Ms. Song Jihyo was jealous or something, but it was useless to think about it too much, so it was most direct to answer the phone and ask by the way,

So, he apologized a little and retreated. And just two minutes later, this young man, who has been very active in the entertainment industry in Seoul recently, came back with a red face.

"What's the matter, what is the matter with Mr. Quan in Hyo-yeon?" Song Ji-hyo asked curiously.

"Hey. Quan Ning bowed his head and apologized with joy. "Both, I'm really sorry today, I didn't expect Mr. Jin Zhongming to suddenly want to see me, this is really ......"

"Go!" Song Zhixiao urged absently. "Leave us alone, we'll talk when we have time...... Go there and say hello to Zhong Ming for us. ”

"Definitely. Quan Ning couldn't wait to turn around and leave, took two steps and suddenly turned around. "Do you want to go together? I seem to remember that the two of you are quite familiar with Mr. Jin Zhongming, right? It's a good kind in a variety show, right?"

"It's a variety show, and it's going to be recorded tomorrow morning. Gary quickly shook his head. "In other words, we can see him tomorrow morning, why are we going to go to him today......?

Quan Ning didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly went out with a longing.

In other words, if you can seize this opportunity to meet that big crocodile, a business will be done, and you will not have to worry about it for the rest of your life!

"Let's go back!" Song Zhixiao looked at the other party's somewhat out of shape back and smiled.

"Ahh Gary nodded his head as well. "I'm going to record the show tomorrow, so I'll rest early today. ”

Kwon only returned to Seoul last year, and then immediately went to Xiangjiang, and he spent much more time there than Seoul, so he has always been a little confused about the situation in South Korea. In fact, if his understanding of the Korean entertainment industry can reach half of that of Xiangjiang, then with his sensitivity, he will definitely be able to get more information from the reactions of the two artists just now.

But unfortunately, he didn't, so he came to the address given by Xiaoyuan without vigilance - a nightclub in Apguting.

Walking into the nightclub, the next scene he saw was exactly the same as Quan Ning had imagined: the upper floor was bustling but all ordinary guests, and the lower floor where the waiter who came to greet him was simply sealed off by the security personnel in suits and leather shoes......

As soon as Quan Ning looked closely, he immediately had a certain understanding of the people in the whole room with his social experience - first of all, the young men and women who accounted for most of the proportion in the private room should be actors either idols, this should be a typical showbiz young people's party. But if you taste it carefully, you can feel that all the young people seem to be a little restrained, some are singing but don't let go, some are dancing, but from time to time they look outside the dance floor, some people are drinking but they are all taking small sips, not to mention that there will be people who will go down the dance floor with a bottle of wine like the legendary GD. And if you continue to look at it, you will find that the real source of nervousness for these artists who are easy to let loose is on a large table in the middle of the room, where several middle-aged men with serious and imposing appearances sit, staring at these artists fiercely. But what's interesting is that although these middle-aged people are faintly incompatible with the surrounding environment, they have been sitting there honestly, not daring to speak directly...... In short, all this implies that there is indeed a real big man in this, layer by layer, so that everyone has to suppress themselves.

So who is this person? I don't know.

In short, following the instinct of a broker, Quan Ningyi couldn't wait, he adjusted his state a little, and then stood at the door and pressed his phone quietly. Sure enough, Xiao Yuan immediately didn't know where to come out to greet him, and took him in with a strange face, and then he met the real owner of this place, Jin Zhongming.

"Oppa, I'll introduce you. Hyo-yeon took Quan Ningyi to the big table, where Kim Jong-ming was sitting at the head of the table with his back to the door, as if he was waiting for something, and seemed to be in a daze at the bright lights of the room. "This is the Kwon Ning Yi oppa you want to meet, he is ......"

"I know. Without waiting for Xiaoyuan to finish speaking, Jin Zhongming came back to his senses, and then took the initiative to smile and nodded. "Okay Xiaoyuan, you go and get busy, I'll just talk to Mr. Quan myself. ”

Xiao Yuan is naturally indispensable, and even has a feeling of relaxation.

"Mr. Jin Zhongming, I have admired my name for a long time. As soon as Hyo Won-fu left, Quan Ningyi immediately bowed down respectfully in accordance with Korean etiquette. "This is not a polite remark, on the American side, you have long been known among us Koreans, and everyone is proud of you......"

"Mr. Quan Ningyi, I have also admired it for a long time. Jin Zhongming sat sideways in his chair and looked at this person with interest. "It's not a polite remark, and I won't even tell you a secret, I was a little excited when I heard your name this afternoon!"

Quan Ningyi was a little overwhelmed: "You are laughing......"

"I'm not laughing. Jin Zhongming smiled and shook his head. "No matter what, Mr. Quan, sit down first, relax, let's talk slowly......"

"Sit here. As he spoke, a little girl on Jin Zhongming's right took the initiative to pull away the chair beside her.

"Thank you, Miss Krystal. Quan Ningyi actually recognized Zheng Ermao, which made the person sitting in the first place can't help but raise his eyebrows.

"I'm going to give you an introduction. After raising his eyebrows, Jin Zhongming smiled, and then said to a few people on the other side of the table. "This is Mr. Kwon Yong-il, who came from the United States and is now the CEO of the entertainment department of CCP, a multinational company in South Korea and the United States, and has a wide network in Xiangjiang and the United States. Mr. Kwon, here are a few high-level executives of entertainment companies who happened to be in the vicinity today, the company's President Kim Young-min, JYP's Park Jin-young, the sweaty President Yang Hyun-seok of YG's company who just arrived, President Hong and Vice President Choi of our cube, and the new Vice President Kim Kwang-so......"

Quan Ningyi hurriedly got up and said hello to the middle-aged people with serious faces.

"What kind of business does Mr. Kwon do?" Before he could sit down again, Vice President Cui, who had been black-faced, couldn't help frowning. "How come I don't have any impression of a Korean and American multinational company engaged in the entertainment industry?"

Vice President Choi. Kim Yingmin on the side took the time to explain to Cui Zhenhao. "CCP is a financial investment company, and it is very influential among Korean investors in the United States, if I guess correctly, it should be an investment fund made by a group of Korean-American billionaires, and Mr. Kwon came to Asia to be in charge of the entertainment department. Oh, and he used to work in an American investment bank, so he's a professional!"

"Investors from the United States?" Cui Zhenhao was even more puzzled. "Although the Korean entertainment market is hot, there is no shortage of funds, and our market demand in the United States is not high, so how can we share the cake with the United States?"

"Who knows?" Kim Kwang-so suddenly interjected without smiling. "Maybe someone is dissatisfied with the status quo and wants to confuse the water, so they deliberately attract external forces to mix in? President Kim Young-min knows so well that he has already dealt with the United States, right?"

Vice President Kim Kwang-so was thinking too much. Kim Young-min accentuated her voice on top of the adverb. "I know Mr. Quan Ningyi, just because many of its artists have recently told us that some people are cheating money from them to invest in all kinds of messy projects......"

At this moment, the faces of several presidents were very exciting, they were called by Jin Zhongming, first saw such a strange nightclub scene, and then saw the other party introduce this person so seriously, I thought it was a big deal?

I didn't expect ......

"I didn't expect it to be just a broker who made a fortune?!" Kim Kwang-so laughed dryly, but his attitude became worse and worse.

Most of the rest of the people are like this, relieved but inevitably have a bad attitude. You must know that if those wolf-like capital forces are tigers and wolves to them, then this kind of broker who survives by dealing with artists is a typical mouse. It stands to reason that this group of people is no problem with the wealthy artists at hand to invest or open a store or something, but this kind of business behavior often involves the image of the artist himself, and similar hidden wealth has always belonged to the core interests of the brokerage company, which can easily cause conflicts between these brokers and the brokerage company.

However, even so, if you want to drive this group of rats away, it is very difficult, because this kind of behavior cannot avoid the artists in the middle, and one bad thing is that the chicken flies and the egg beats. When the time comes, this group of brokers will pat their butts and leave, but what about the agency that has worked hard to cultivate artists?

The four words "rat thrower" are really vivid.

At this end, a group of entertainment company bigwigs all didn't have a good face, so they almost spoke out directly, but on the other side, Quan Ningyi still maintained a polite and smiling face, after all, as an excellent broker, self-spitting is the most basic ability. Besides, he knew very well that there was only one Jin Zhongming in this room today who really spoke, and it didn't matter how angry this group of people were.

"Don't do that. After bowing his head and listening for a while, Jin Zhongming finally spoke. "Don't worry about Mr. Quan. In fact, broker is not a derogatory term in my opinion, because as long as the situation of information asymmetry does not change for a day, this industry is a good business, and it is a necessary business...... To put it bluntly, banks are essentially brokers for depositors and enterprises? Isn't my shopping platform also acting as brokers for merchants and customers? Facebook is now one of the world's leading websites, but does this company have any content producers? That's also brokers, all platform-based enterprises are brokers, and brokers are the most traditional brokers, right? So the so-called brokers are nothing more than acting as cogs in the chain of interests, collecting some money proportionally, and everyone is essentially the same. ”

"Mr. Kim is so right. Quan Ningyi hurriedly nodded in agreement. "That's what I thought when I left the investment bank, the interest chain is there, those big enterprises, big banks and big platforms are big gears, and those of us who work alone and small enterprises are naturally small gears, the same is to make the interest chain turn a little more neatly, of course, it is also to make a little more money for yourself, which cannot be denied in any case. ”

"That's what I said. "Some people are still angry. "But some brokers always unconsciously pry into the corner......"

"Don't generalize ......," Kim Jong-ming said with a smile and reassuring.

The two sides finally began to chat, but at this moment, suddenly an orange flew over the table, making a few people who were talking stuck there, everyone looked sideways, it was a good thing that Zheng Ermao did, and Chu Long, who was smashed, could only put away the orange in embarrassment.

"That's okay, I ...... just now" The corner of Jin Zhongming's mouth twitched, and he had to reluctantly make a round, and then another orange flew over the table in front of him, and then fell into Chu Long's arms, and now he really couldn't pretend not to see it. "Ermao, what are you doing? Don't you see us talking?"

"Nothing. Krystal's face was full of excitement but he didn't care. "Wood, you go on. ”

"Do you really want me to pour ice cubes into Chu Long's arms, and then use bananas to paste your face?" Jin Zhongming asked angrily.

Krystal was slightly stunned: "Are you going to do this?"

"I knew you were reading comics and smoking!" Kim Jongming was speechless, then suddenly slapped the table and commanded in a loud voice. "What, stop the music, stop the lights, and then you all go upstairs to play, and Sister Chu Long and Sister Zhaoyan also bring Ermao up...... Don't let her disturb us talking about things. ”

As soon as these words came out, the bosses and artists present breathed a sigh of relief...... This is normal Jin Zhongming, to be honest, unlike Quan Ningyi, who thinks that this private room is so taken for granted, the artists and entertainment company bosses who were called here by Krystal near Apguting are actually all frightened, because the atmosphere of this place is really not Jin Zhongming!

In this way, all the artists withdrew, and Krystal was also dissatisfied and dragged away by Chu Long, and the lights in the private room disappeared in an instant, only some sounds faintly came from the big field overhead...... But compared to before, it is much quieter.

"What the hell is going on?" As soon as the person left, Cui Zhenhao, who was a little more relaxed, couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing. Jin Zhongming replied with some embarrassment. "Ermao recently read the comic called "Veteran" and was fascinated, I said that I want to calm people as soon as we meet, she will give me such a mess according to the situation in the comics, according to the plot in the comics, she just threw oranges, I should take the opportunity to paste her with fruit...... But how can such a thing be done? That is, I have been preoccupied at night, so I let her mess around, but it makes you laugh. ”

"Sounds interesting. Park Jin-young said with a smile. "I'll go and look for that comic when I go back, but it's been a long time, Zhong Ming, it's really rare for you to have this kind of gaffe...... Who the hell do you want to meet, and you are going to lose your temper on this?"

"yes. Kim Kwang-so echoed. "Remember you now...... To put it mildly, it's not like that if Lee Kun-hee wants to visit, right?"

"That's why I made you laugh. Jin Zhongming laughed. "I kept telling others in the afternoon that Jin Zhongming is Jin Zhongming, and it has passed the period of using pretending to be a model to raise himself and earn fame, but sometimes, a little casual psychological touch is still easy to make people lose control. To put it bluntly, I'm still young, and I didn't have enough concentration, but I made you tired all night......!

Although he didn't know who Jin Zhongming wanted to see, he was even more confused, but everyone still got up one by one. Then before leaving, they either comforted or sycophants or doubted, but they were relieved and lively.

But gradually, as these people left one by one, the entire underground private room gradually became completely quiet, except for the security personnel standing at the door, only Jin Zhongming and the restless Quan Ningyi remained.

"When will that guest of Mr. Kim Jong-ming arrive?" asked Quan Ningyi stubbornly, he still didn't want to believe that person was him. "If you're going to talk to that person about something important, wouldn't I be right to stay here?"

"Nothing else. Jin Zhongming poured half a glass of wine in one go, then exhaled, and then squinted his eyes and looked at Quan Ningyi. "Mr. Quan, the person who made me uneasy all night was you...... Honestly, you should be proud, I really haven't had such a gaffe in years. ”

Quan Ning was sweating profusely, and years of training in social occasions made him faintly feel a bad atmosphere, but why? Why would such a big man target him?

"Let me introduce myself again, I'm Kim Jong-ming. Kim Jong Ming did not leave room for the other party to continue thinking. "You're Quan Ningyi, right?"

"Of course. ”

"Then we're finally meeting!"

"Yes, we finally met...... But Mr. Kim, I really don't understand!" Quan Ningyi suddenly wanted to cry.
