Chapter 09: Strange or Not

The relationship between money and people is roughly like this. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For an ordinary person, when there is no money, the first consideration is food and clothing. You have to earn enough money to eat, then you have to wear, then you have to buy a house, buy a car, etc., to achieve financial freedom. This is the first stage, and it is also the stage where 80 percent of people spend their whole lives working on it.

When the purpose of the first stage is achieved, the things that the person has to consider begin to change. First of all, when this goal is reached, it means that the person has some accumulation. It is not wise to keep this money in the bank, so choose the method of managing your finances. With a small amount of money, you can buy some funds, you can also invest in real estate, you can also hire a financial manager, engage in some venture capital, overseas asset allocation, etc., the most basic purpose is to beat inflation, and it is naturally best to earn a little on this basis. This is the second stage.

The third stage. Man is a creature who can't hold back loneliness, and when the first and second stages are satisfied, this person begins to think about how to realize his self-worth. In the eyes of some philosophers, a person is called a 'person' only when he reaches this stage. When it comes to the third stage of the person, his purpose is no longer how much money he makes, but what he can do. Use money, networks, etc., to achieve your own goals. There are various ways in this stage, usually it is to start a business, succeed, and then move on to the next stage of life, fail, and start all over again.

The same is true for a country, development will go through its inevitable and followable path. For example, China, the United States, Japan, all have a similar situation. The stage that China is going through now, to some extent, is the same stage that the United States and Japan have already gone through, such as rising housing prices, such as rapid economic inflation, and so on.

Take Japan as an example, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, Japan's economic situation was very good. In a short period of 20 years, Japan, an island country, has rapidly expanded its economic size to two-thirds of that of the United States! It has become the world's second-largest country in a well-deserved manner; to what extent did the Japanese enterprises and Japanese people at that time have money? They waved the dollar exchanged for the yen, wantonly bought properties in the United States, bought shares in companies, and even Rockefeller and other century-old stores were not spared, and their shares were repeatedly acquired by the Japanese...... Americans have become wage earners for the Japanese...... Does this scene sound familiar?

Yes, China is now going through a similar phase. China has now surpassed Japan to become the second largest economy, and it is just around the corner to surpass the United States. Chinese conglomerates have bought teams in Europe, oil fields in the Middle East, DreamWorks in the United States, and diamond mines in Africa. The appetite of Chinese is not a specific category or a certain country, but the whole world and the whole industry. As long as it is needed, Chinese conglomerates are not hesitant to buy it. The popularity of the Korean Wave and the negotiation of the China-Korea Free Trade Area have made Chinese businessmen realize that Korean companies are very valuable, and Korean pop culture is very valuable, so the giants are very interested in buying companies like S.M.

Originally, Ah Jiu had nothing to do with these people, it was Long Shi. His law firm specializes in overseas asset mergers and acquisitions. In addition to being an agent, Long Shi is also a very qualified lawyer. He was not idle in South Korea, in addition to the task, he also considered his own work, and he also mentioned these things to Ah Jiu a few times.

It's not a selfish thing, and for China, South Korea's importance is not in trade, or even in pop culture. The point is that South Korea can be used as a breakthrough. For example, in the first half of this year, China purchased precision machine tools from Europe through South Korea, according to the treaty between the United States and Europe, this kind of precision machine tools can not be sold to China, but to South Korea. South Korea bought this machine tool, used it for a few months, and sold it to China 'for depreciation', which was a great help to us. For China, the development of this kind of machine tool is not impossible, but the delay is time, after having a set, with a strong 'cloning' ability, soon we can also export...... When the time comes, the money earned will be several times the amount invested. Of course, Koreans are not stupid, and the interest rate difference earned from China every year is also quite a lot, which is a tacit thing, and it is a win-win situation for each other.

In order to make such cooperation last, in many cases, the most important insurance is 'you have me, I have you', and in this regard, South Korea suffers because of the huge disparity between the two economies. The Chinese consortium has enough money to support all the big companies in South Korea, but the Korean consortium obviously can't do that. Long Shi saw this opportunity, so he tried his best to promote the Chinese consortium to buy shares of South Korea's dynamic enterprises, so that one day in the future, if there is any contradiction between China and South Korea, it can hurt the enemy invisibly through the means of economic sanctions, which is a bloodless method.

Ah Jiu is also based on this consideration, so he pulled this line for Lee so-man, after all, in the Korean pop culture industry, S.M can definitely be regarded as a dynamic enterprise.

……

Ah Jiu got the car done, and then sent it to Park Canrong's refitting factory, and carried out a series of 'decoration', painting, interior, audio system, etc., all of which were installed, and more than half a month passed, and finally got it, and Ah Jiu's embarrassing situation of not driving a car for more than a month was finally solved. The new car was named 'Galaxy' by him, which means galaxy, and he also registered a custom car brand, which belongs to Park Chanrong's tuning factory.

In terms of hardware, this car is enough to meet the standards of the world's top luxury cars, but because it is electric, there is still a little lack of battery life, but basically within the scope of Seoul, there is no problem with driving for a day, and it also meets the current use of Ah Jiu. After picking up the new car, just in time for Xuefu to come to Seoul, Ah Jiu drove to pick up Xuefu. Chev also had the privilege of being the first to ride in his car.

Sheph's house was sold, and he could only stay in a hotel when he came to Seoul. Ah Jiu also arrived at this time, and suddenly realized that he didn't have a house. And wherever to take Xuefu, it doesn't seem to be appropriate. So the two opened a room on the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, the tallest hotel in Seoul, overlooking the entire city.

Ah Jiu and Xue Fu's affairs, Ah Jiu hasn't told anyone else, so he is here today, in fact, Taeyeon doesn't know, IU doesn't know, they all think Ah Jiu is there with each other. With the implementation of the biker's transformation plan, Ah Jiu's affairs have gradually increased, so even if he disappears for a day once in a while, Taeyeon and IU will not ask too much.

Xuefu took a bath and came out in a silk nightgown, and the whole person was like a hibiscus out of water, indescribably pretty. She saw Ah Jiu standing by the window, hugging his shoulders, as if he was looking at something. His thin back was not as wide as he had imagined, but it was as tall as a pine, as if nothing could bend him.

Xue Fu looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt some heartache inexplicably, she walked over and hugged Ah Jiu's waist behind him.

Ah Jiu heard Xuefu's footsteps, and when he saw her hand coming over, he also held her hand and said, "What's wrong?"

Xue Fu was in a trance, she didn't understand a little, obviously just looked at Ah Jiu who seemed to need protection, and when she hugged her waist, this feeling disappeared, and was replaced by a strong sense of security, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"It's okay," Xue Fu let go of Ah Jiu's waist, Ah Jiu looked back at her, looked at her for a while, and said, "Since you have long hair, I suddenly think that you still look better with short hair." ”

"Then I cut it?"

Ah Jiu shook his head and said, "I still don't want it, you look good, it's just that I'm used to the previous image, it's okay, I'll get used to it." ”

Ah Jiu pulled Xuefu to sit down on the sofa, Xuefu snuggled in his arms, the two of them faced the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the moon was reflected, as if within reach, beautiful like a painting.

Xue Fu looked at Ah Jiu, still not very relieved, and asked, "Were you thinking about Sen just now?"

"I'm thinking about what to do next. Ah Jiu smiled and didn't explain more. He didn't deliberately want to hide what Xue Fu meant, but he still felt that it was not good for Xue Fu to know too much about these things, but seeing Xue Fu's worried look, Ah Jiu still said a little more and said, "My dear, let me ask you, if there are some things, everyone thinks that you should do it, it is your duty and obligation, or ...... It's your fate, but you're very resistant in your heart, will you still do it?"

Xue Fu was confused by Ah Jiu's 'dear' call, and was in a trance for two seconds before she woke up, and in order to hide her embarrassment, she repeated Ah Jiu's words and stammered: "Are you saying that everyone thinks it's what you should do, but you don't want to do it?"

"Hmm...... It can't be said that I am unwilling, I just think ......" Ah Jiu thought about it and wanted to find an exact word to describe it, but he couldn't find it, and said vaguely: "It's almost, but it's not particularly unwilling, it's just a little resistant." ”

"Why resist?" asked Xuefu, puzzled.

"Because this is a matter of not winning or losing," Ah Jiu smiled bitterly, stroked Xuefu's hair, and said, "Everything I did today may become very ridiculous one day because of a concession, a compromise, or a transaction." It's something I can't fight against, and I don't want to be a ridiculous person. ”

"Then don't do it, why force yourself?"

Ah Jiu smiled and said, "Maybe this is called 'do your best, and then die'." ”

Xue Fu was still ignorant, but Ah Jiu didn't want to explain anymore. The long night is long, the night is as cool as water, and the beautiful scenery of the night is beautiful, how can you waste it?

……

Lee so-man thought very quickly, in a few hours, he had already made a decision, and then it took him two days to convince all the shareholders, large and small, and then convened a board of directors to force Kim Young-min to comply. Things went a lot smoother than expected. The shares sold this time only accounted for 4 percent on the books, 1.9 billion yuan, and the won was almost more than 10 billion won. But the cross-agreement in private allowed Ali to have 10% of the voting rights, as for the books, it was because Li Xiuman's new star plan almost needed this number, and there was also the fact that Ah Jiu occupied 9 percent, Ali occupied 10 percent, and a little more would threaten his position of 23 percent.

However, the significance of this matter is not to sell a few percentage points of equity, but to release a signal to the outside world. S.M has already held a thick leg and no longer has to worry about lack of funds. This made those who tried to sing S.M. slap in the face. also made Li Xiuman run into walls everywhere, and the evil spirit accumulated in the past two months was ruthlessly released. As a result, the stock price of S・M has risen sharply, and the stock market outlook is very good.

Li Xiuman is not a person who is not ignorant at all, and he has gained such a big favor from Ah Jiu, of course he has to have some rewards. In a hurry to go back to Los Angeles on a business trip, I went to see Sunny's father and said a lot of good things for Ah Jiu. Not to mention, this is more effective for Ah Jiu than how much he has helped him, and because of this, Ah Jiu finally changed his opinion of Li Xiuman a little.

Girls' Generation's precursor song returns, and although the effect is not bad, it does not reach the extent that Taeyeon expected. Although each music program has won a place, there is no 'triple crown', and the music source does not 'dominate the charts', which makes the ambitious Taeyeon feel the gap, and the interest is not very high for many days.

Ah Jiu is also a little busy during this time, and the construction of Beicun has entered the final stage and is in the stage of attracting investment. For this former slum on the north bank of the Han River, almost one-third of the area on the south bank of the Han River, can be built to the current extent, and the media has given countless praises, and all the 'new Han River miracles' have come up. Park Chanrong was also promoted to the Seoul Youth Model, becoming one of the entrepreneurs who changed South Korea in 2015, various interviews pushed one after another, at first it was still enjoyable, and gradually it was a little unbearable, a little annoyed, and finally learned Ah Jiu, found a deputy to top the cylinder, and escaped from the clean.

The project was almost over, and there was still some work to lay the floor tiles, so the brothers got a barbecue stove, pork belly, and sake in a corner, and ate barbecue unscrupulously.

"Boss, I finally understand your feelings now, it's really annoying, it's really ......" Park Chanyoung took a bite of the meat skewer and said vaguely: "I pondered, I haven't been on any shows in my life, and I feel quite happy, but if I go on it too much, I'm a little tired, and I feel like I'm going to make my debut...... Although I don't look inferior to any boy group, I'm low-key and don't want to be an artist, alas, it's really a huge loss for my country's Hallyu culture. ”

Ah Jiu glanced at him and didn't speak, Park Canrong thought he was a stinky fart, he was no longer surprised when he saw it four years ago.
