Chapter 271: Class (Medium)
In the evening, in the small room of a restaurant on Yeouido, Kim Jong-ming put down his wine glass in a little surprise: "Senior Jin Jiula really owes a lot of debts? Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Seems like a lot. Yin Zhongxin vaguely echoed beside him. "How many exactly?"
"At the moment, it's about a billion. Unexpectedly, Jin Jiula's reply was unusually crisp and crisp.
Belch...... But with this extremely simple sentence, the atmosphere immediately became a little awkward, Jin Zhongming was stunned on the spot, and Yin Zhongxin also wanted to speak and stopped.
"I know what you guys think. Jin Jiula poured himself a full glass of liquor. "When others hear this, they are usually amazed at this number, but the worst of you is also the boss of a company, so the first reaction should be, 'If you owe so much, you probably have done something terrible'! ”
"Then how the hell do you owe so much?" Yin Zhongxin put down the cup speechlessly. "I don't remember what kind of investment you made, but you don't even want to do a fried chicken restaurant, and you only buy stocks from large companies......"
"Hey. Jin Jiula drank the glass of liquor in his hand before nodding. "Brother Zhong Xin still understands me, I am very sensitive to finances and will not make any investments easily...... In fact, it was my wife who owed the debt, and I was not afraid of your jokes, until a familiar creditor found me two months ago, that I knew that there was such a thing. Go back and ask, a hundred million!"
"'At present'?" Jin Zhongming, who had been silent for a while, suddenly thought of a word that the other party had just used.
"For now. Jin Jiula nodded again. "It's all usury, so it's just a billion at the moment, and it will soon become more ......"
"Ahem!" Yin Zhongxin really choked, his face turned red and he didn't say anything, and quickly put down half of the wine.
"That's the ......," Jin Jiula smiled bitterly and began to explain to his friends and his friends.
According to Jin Jiula's explanation, it turned out that his wife had always been a little fond of vanity or face. Of course, as the wife of a famous artist, the mother of a child star, and a housewife in a wealthy area of Jiangnan, it seems quite understandable to love vanity.
In fact, the rich and celebrities in the Jiangnan area are too concentrated, and the place is too small (this, think about Yu Li living opposite Sika, Zheng Yonghe and Seo Hyun are neighbors, and it is really understandable), and most of the wives of rich Koreans will also be husbands and children at home as housewives, so they will praise each other on any occasion when they are bored, plus intrigues! Even Jin Jiula himself said on the show that some people can pull out 80 kinds of rumors for a little face-saving thing, and even he specially invented the term 'victim', which is about the wives of this group of rich people, saying that they are idle and bored, so they like to make trouble. For example, if a female celebrity buys a new bag today, it will spread throughout Jiangnan tomorrow, and if the paparazzi pay attention to the style or something, this group of people will care more about the price, and then go to ridicule, or buy the same style to show off in public in the community.
And compared to this kind of 'subject', what love for vanity is really nothing!
But, then again, in this part of South Korea, when any kind of bad habit encounters a debt problem, there is a very bad chemical reaction, and Kim Jiu-ra's wife is like that.
At the beginning, it was just Jin Jiula's brother-in-law who asked his sister to make a guarantee when he was doing business and borrowing debts...... Of course, it is no problem for my sister to guarantee her brother's debts, and after all, this sister has financial strength and social reputation, so she can't say anything no matter how she thinks about it, in fact, Jin Jiula herself knows about this matter alone.
However, after the successful conclusion of this matter, it caused some ripples...... On the one hand, the relatives are amazed at the role of the name of Jin Jiula's wife, after all, private debt in South Korea is an extremely embarrassing problem, and it is not at all that you want to borrow, otherwise the usury business would not be so developed;
As a result, things began to go bad, and this housewife, who was only a rich wife, began to take care of everything, and began to vouch for many relatives and friends because of some flattery and praise, and even some so-called relatives and friends were no longer able to beat them...... However, it seems that there is nothing to do as a guarantee, and it does not require any real money, but as the name suggests, the person who owes the debt can't afford to change or runs away, so it will be recognized by you as a matter of course.
"Blame me too. Speaking of this, Jin Jiula couldn't help but sigh. "I always have a black face, and I'm always very sensitive to financial issues, and I've complained more than once about her vouching for her brother. So, when there was a problem with the debt over there, she didn't think about telling me at all, but went directly to borrow usury and tear down the east wall to make up the west wall......"
Yin Zhongxin was completely speechless: "Didn't the relatives ask her to be a guarantor just so as not to touch the loan shark?
Jin Jiula looked depressed, but he couldn't answer, so he had to bow his head and drink.
But on the other hand, Jin Zhongming, who has been listening to the story indifferently, believes this statement, which is not strange, in fact, it seems that some college students are strict at home on weekdays, and when they hit someone with a car and have an accident, their first reaction is not to save people, but to make up for dozens of knives first. Not to mention how maddening it was, but it was really just done...... Why? At that time, there was only one thought that prevailed, and I didn't want people, or to be extreme, just didn't want my parents to know.
And to be honest, this kind of mentality and cases are too common in traditional Eastern societies, and the long-term repressive and rigid family atmosphere will bring people habits and pressures that penetrate into the bone marrow, and this habit and pressure will make a person fall into an incomprehensible irrational thinking when facing social reality problems for the first time. Then, some of them are more afraid of the psychological dogma instilled by their families, and ignore the legal principles.
So back to the present, the nature of the matter has undergone such a bad deflection, it is indeed Jin Jiula's wife who is stupid, this is not said, but Jin Jiula himself is also to blame for his usual harshness.
Of course, it could be felt from his tone that although he himself couldn't say clearly, he was vaguely aware of it.
"Needless to say. Jin Jiula continued slightly broken. "At the beginning, it was only about 100 million bad debts, but such a thing as loan sharking, such a messy debt, such a long time...... Let me put it this way, not to mention how this 100 million rose to 1 billion, as far as I know, all the accounts plus one piece, last month was nearly 20 million interest, the profit rolling, the so-called donkey rolling......"
"And usury is such a thing. Hearing this, Jin Zhongming suddenly laughed inexplicably, and he didn't know who he was mocking. "It's not like you want to pay it back early, you can get it for as long as you want on the IOU. Actually with your fame...... If you are a billion, you can always make up enough money by gritting your teeth and borrowing a circle from a friend with an identity in the circle, and selling the house or something. But if you include the interest, I'm afraid the numbers will become even more exaggerated, and even the trouble and notoriety of usury itself is enough for you to drink a pot of artificial...... How did Choi Jin and Ahn Jae-hwan die?"
This topic is a bit heavy, and Jin Jiula didn't know what to say for a while.
After waiting for a while, Yin Zhongxin finally cleared his throat: "So this matter is really troublesome!"
That's what it means. Jin Jiu, who reacted, glanced at Yin Zhongxin opposite, and then got up and poured a glass of wine for Jin Zhongming, who was sitting in the middle. "I have counted that the longest IOU in these debts will be until 2015, and if you count all the interest, there should be a total of nearly 2 billion ...... when you are full."
"2 billion?!" Yin Zhongxin stood up knowingly, his face full of surprise. "Two billion words...... Jiula, don't blame me, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that you're in too much trouble, and I can't do anything about it. ”
"I know. Jin Jiula looked earnest. "I'm like a rat now, everyone shouts and beats, Brother Zhong Xin, it's already very good that you can come over and eat one of my meals......
"How can I ask you to invite it?" Yin Zhongxin turned around with a dry smile. "Since I'm an older brother, I can always afford a drink. Well, I'll pay the bills and go home...... You go on ...... talk."
Jin Jiula didn't say much, just nodded at the other party, and then had a tacit understanding to let this Chinese person leave directly. And Jin Zhongming kept staring at Yin Zhongxin's back until the other party disappeared outside the door without saying a word.
After all, that's how it should be according to common sense.
On the issue of private debt, why is the interest rate on South Korea's debt, even on private debt, so high, and why is usury rampant? In the final analysis, South Koreans are bigger than the sky, and it is always embarrassing for South Koreans to borrow money in front of mutual acquaintances. So from this point of view, it seems reasonable for the three of them to have such a tacit understanding, one to go, and two to be silent.
However, after Yin Zhongxin left, although the atmosphere was awkward, there was no imaginary borrowing scene.
"I ......" waited for a while, and Jin Jiula, who was on the table with one arm, opened his mouth slightly embarrassed. "Actually, it's just that Brother Zhong Xin mistakenly thinks I'm going to borrow money...... And I just want to talk to you, Mr. Kim Jong-ming, about one other thing. ”
"I wasn't surprised. Jin Zhongming laughed directly. "But seniors...... Are you sure so?"
Jin Jiu laughed dryly: "It should be, right? Anyway, there is no need for real money." ”
"Things in the world are like commodities. Jin Zhongming smiled strangely again, and then put the glass of wine handed by the other party back on the table. "An extra layer of people is like an extra layer of wholesalers for goods, and in the end, the price always has to keep rising...... So, if the price paid by the person who asked you to help you solve the debt problem was to help you solve the debt problem, then why did the seniors think that the price you would pay to come to me would be lower than that?"
"The cost of this thing may vary from person to person. Jin Jiula immediately became serious. "To me, those debts are like heaven, but to others they are not worth anything...... Of course, more importantly, in fact, the person who asked me to speak for me this time was not so exaggerated as if he really paid off the 2 billion debt for me. ”
"Oh?" Kim Jong Ming was slightly interested.
"That's right. Jin Jiula finally said what happened. "I asked another person before, his parents are both from the banking industry, his mother is still working in the bank, and although his father has just retired from the position of president, he went to Chosun Ilbo to become an associate editor of the economic section, and his influence is even greater...... So, his father said hello to me and asked the loan shark to settle with me in the bank, which is considered to be a bank-centric figure-out, and now I owe 1.7 billion won to the bank......
"It's already a great favor, not to mention the loss of 300 million interest, the key is that there is no entanglement of the three words usury, to put it mildly, if you are still entangled with usury, no one will dare to buy even if you auction the house now!"
"I know. Jin Jiula smiled helplessly. "So when people called me today to help me keep you and test my attitude, I really couldn't refuse...... Of course, I'm self-aware, and if you think I've upset you, I can apologize and leave......"
"Ask something. Jin Zhongming suddenly interrupted the other party. "Brother Zhong Xin really doesn't know anything, does he really think that you are going to borrow money from me today?"
Jin Jiula's heart was empty, and he didn't dare to talk to him inexplicably.
"Understood!" After waiting for a while, Jin Zhongming finally drank the glass of wine in his hand angrily. "All of them are smart people...... And then I'm a fool alone?"
Jin Jiula still didn't dare to say anything.
"When I was doing the show today, I could tell who you were going to say for someone. Jin Zhongming shook his empty wine glass boredly. "But senior, we really don't know each other...... Brother Zhong Xin, I know him well, but he ran away again...... What do you say?"
"I just don't think you care about the artist world now. Jin Jiula explained stiffly. That's why I did it with a shy face. Of course, the great favor is forced behind me, and no matter how shameless things are, you have to do them......"
"Artist?" Jin Zhongming's eyebrows furrowed. "I thought it was Choi Tae-won or Li Fuzhen who wanted to compensate me, didn't it! Artist?!If Brother Zhong Xin knew that my friendship with him for more than ten years had been wasted by some bullshit grievances of an artist, with his greedy character of greedy for money and self-preservation...... You'll regret dying, right?"
Jin Jiula's scalp was even more numb, he understood that he and Yin Zhongxin's self-made cleverness still angered others after all, but Yin Zhongxin had a bigger face on the other side, so he was able to sit peacefully until now.
"Forget it!" Jin Zhongming suddenly lost his thoughts of being angry. "You can't let people say that I'm ruthless and unrighteous, and I don't even give face to the eldest brother I've known since I was a child, that Jin Jiula senior, just say, who is this person?
"People are right outside in the parking lot. Jin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how he explained to Yin Zhongxin for the time being, he finally got through this stubble first.
After all, as a seasoned adult, he was really a little scared just now.
In other words, for a long time, since Kim Jong Ming really got off the ground, he has always been right about things and not about people, even if he recently knocked down half of CJ, which attracted everyone's attention, but it was a little too far away from his own people. On the contrary, when his position was not very secure before, it was rumored that he had asked bodyguards to smoke advertisers with belts in public, and there were even rumors that some artists who had bad rumors about an underage girl crawled back to their hometown with broken legs to sell fried noodles...... It looks very aggressive.
However, compared to those rumors, it was the two sentences that Jin Zhongming said with a cold face just now, which made Jin Jiula really a little afraid, and this fear was a kind of fear that I didn't know the depth...... After all, he is not afraid of shadows, although he Jin Jiula has offended many people, but at most he is unforgiving, and there are indeed short-tempered people who have slapped him, but afterwards it has aroused unanimous sympathy in the circle. Therefore, if Jin Zhongming turned his face and slapped the table or even smashed him in the face with a wine glass, he would not feel any fear. And now on the issue, he has no idea what means the other party will use to deal with him if he is really angry with him......
This young man has money, and he can easily let himself, a person with debt problems, fall into a debt vortex for the rest of his life; he also has a bunch of various media that rely on him for food, which can easily destroy the popularity base that an artist relies on to survive; he doesn't even have to do such trouble, as long as he goes to say hello to the senior executives of the TV station who has a lot of business dealings with him, what else can a MC have if he has no program?
Even to put it to the extreme, he has his own security company......
In short, Jin Jiula can't wait to shake the pot now, and wants to push the matter to the original person.
"Let him come in!" Jin Zhongming was really a little unhappy, but when he thought that this guy owed 1.7 billion in debt, he couldn't get angry.
Jin Jiula immediately got up and said that he was going to bring people in, but Jin Zhongming knew that this guy, like Yin Zhongxin before, had made up his mind and took the opportunity to slip away...... However, it's okay to slip away, and save yourself from staying in front of yourself.
Two minutes later, a familiar and unfamiliar person appeared in the private room, and as soon as he entered the door, he respectfully bowed 90 degrees......
Jin Zhongming's face turned suddenly, but he couldn't help laughing: "Brother Shengji...... It's really okay!"
