Chapter Thirty-Seven: Competitors
The women chatted for a while and went back to their rooms, where only two men sat opposite each other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Baoguang, tell your uncle about your plans, in the future, I plan to be a simple director, or ....... As one of the direct beneficiaries of the new life group after it became bigger and stronger, Zheng Jingren undoubtedly stood on the same front with Liang Gesheng, and he has helped him do what he can and can't do over the years. If it was Liang Gesheng who spoke, he would not hesitate to let him go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, but let the other party's son take away his daughter and live for the rest of his life, Zheng Jingren had to hesitate.
In this business, people will always be hated by many people, and they may be approached in the name of revenge, and those direct competitors are even more difficult, they are organized and powerful, and they often have a careful plan before acting. It has been a lot better in the past few years, but the sword and sword shadows of the first two years have always lingered in Zheng Jingren's mind, and not everyone talks about the rules when running outside.
"Uncle Jingren, where is there a simple director in this world, even if I nod my head and say yes now, can you believe me?" Liang Baoguang understood what Zheng Jingren meant, and wanted to ask him if he would not take over the business of the Xinsheng Group in the future, and whether he would become the second Liang Gesheng, but he couldn't give an answer at the moment, which would involve all aspects of the problem. However, Liang Baoguang is sure that those things should have little to do with him in the short term, "My father and I are different after all." β
"I'm just such a precious daughter like Xiuyan, uh, and Xiujing...... In short, as a father, I always hope that they will have a stable life in the future. Like me and Shujing, we resolutely went to the United States in order to live a better life, but we stumbled and mixed up some assets there, and finally chose to return to our hometown. It is precisely because of the hardships that I don't want Xiuyan and them to take unnecessary detours, and I hope you can understand your uncle's mood at this point. The experience of boxing in San Francisco had a great impact on Zheng Jingren, and even after returning to work, he was still engaged in boxing-related careers, but his heart began to favor a stable and peaceful life.
"Of course I understand. Liang Baoguang scratched his chin, obviously talking about Jessica, but why did it sound more like he was admonishing himself not to take a detour? He wanted to explain things clearly, but he didn't know where to start explaining that everything was made by Krystal, "But Uncle Jingren, times have changed a lot, haven't they?"
"Don't think about the future yet, by the way, have you taken insurance measures with Xiuyan today? You are still young, it's really normal to be impulsive and ignore it, don't panic if something happens without preparation, discuss it with her mother before making a decision." As the father of two daughters, Zheng Jingren is destined to worry a lot.
"Well, we just watched a movie, nothing else. Liang Baoguang suddenly felt so hot, maybe the indoor floor heating temperature was too high.
"Hey, what are you pretending to be with me, Xiuyan has explained it after she came back, haven't you two been in Hannam-dong, it's just necessary to watch movies at home? It's okay, your Uncle Jingren has also been in the United States for more than ten years and still holds an American passport, and he is very open-minded compared to ordinary Koreans, as long as you don't do anything to be sorry for her, he will definitely not treat you badly. Zheng Jingren pinched his fingers after speaking, he has been playing semi-professional boxing for so many years, his fists are already bigger than casseroles, and his knuckles are particularly thick.
"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that I still hadn't finished my winter vacation homework, so I went back to make up for it first. Liang Baoguang felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and quickly stood up and said goodbye, he was afraid that if he didn't leave Zheng Jingren at this time, he would have to make some strange guarantees, and in order to increase his credibility, he also added a sentence: "Our Harvard winter vacation homework is particularly difficult." β
Unable to have a long talk with his future son-in-law, Zheng Jingren seemed very regretful, and personally sent people to the intersection before going home, and on the way back, he kept muttering in a low voice, "The surname is Jiang, this time it depends on how you are embarrassed in front of me, and what do you say to me, 'What your daughter has, my daughter has it, and my daughter who doesn't have it', my daughter has a sister, does your daughter have it?, uh, what nonsense am I talking about here......"
When Liang Baoguang came home again, it was already past one o'clock in the morning, and after tidying up the house a little, and washing the dishes in the sink and putting them in the cabinet, he was ready to take a shower and go to bed. As soon as he was halfway through his clothes, the phone on the coffee table rang, and he picked it up and saw that it was Kim Tae-hee calling, "Nuna, what's the matter with you?"
"Yes, of course there is! You kid is so good that you don't contact me for a day, so I watched TV at home for a day. Kim Tae-hee's speed of speech was very fast, obviously she had a lot of resentment towards Liang Baoguang, originally she thought that everyone was single and had nothing to do, and she could get together a pair to go out to play, but this kind of thing couldn't be mentioned by her, so she waited for Liang Baoguang to speak first, but when she was so hungry in the afternoon that she decided to go out to eat, she happened to see Liang Baoguang's car driving in the underground garage, and there was a woman she knew sitting in the car, "Didn't you tell me that you don't have a girlfriend, why did you bring someone home, it's the girl surnamed Zheng, right?"
"Nuna, you can't be spying on me, are you?" Liang Baoguang glanced out suspiciously, and even Jessica knew that he was at his house.
"Ah, who is idle and has nothing to watch you, it's just that I happened to be in the parking lot when you drove in in the afternoon, so I saw it. Kim Tae-hee usually has a strong aura, loves to play and make trouble, but perhaps she has had unsuccessful emotional experiences in the past, and she will always seem too cautious when facing this aspect of things. It's like this time, she deliberately waited until after midnight, and it was no longer Valentine's Day before making this call, just because she was afraid that Liang Baoguang would misunderstand, but she was specifically afraid that he would misunderstand something, and she couldn't say why, "How can I say that I am also your rumored girlfriend, not to mention that I don't even have a text message to give gifts, how do you say to compensate me?"
"You just said that you were greedy, and I will treat you to a big meal before I leave. Not long after I came back, the floor heating had just been turned on for a while, the temperature in the room was only about ten degrees, and Liang Baoguang, who had already taken off a lot of clothes, shivered from the cold, "Nuna, I was about to take a bath, and now that my clothes are taken off, I feel a little cold, so I will hang up the phone first, and I will call you after I finish taking a shower." β
"No need, you go and rest early. Kim Tae-hee was rarely gentle, although she called to ask about the relationship between Liang Baoguang and Jessica, and what they were doing at home this afternoon, but after really dialing the phone, she couldn't ask anything.
After rolling up his clothes and carrying them into the bathroom, he stuffed them into the washing machine, Liang Baoguang hummed "Bohemian Rhapsody" and turned on the faucet, watching the rising mist make him feel a sense of satisfaction, taking a hot shower in winter is a very comfortable thing for him, so he can't understand what some people think about not taking a shower when it's cold. Before the water was full, the phone in the living room rang again, and he wordlessly put on his bathrobe and rushed out, "Nuna, I'm about to take a shower." β
"Nuna, it's only been a few years over there that you can't speak Chinese, don't you know how to call your sister?" Yun Jingyi teased on the other end of the phone.
"Mom, why did you call me at this point?" Liang Baoguang thought it was Kim Tae-hee's phone again, but he didn't even look at the caller ID, but when he heard the voice, he realized that it was his mother.
"We are here at twelve o'clock at noon, I called you during my lunch break, and asked?" There is a fourteen-hour time difference between the two places, and it is exactly twelve o'clock in the morning in New York at two o'clock in the morning when Seoul time, "I haven't asked you yet, why did you go to take a shower at two o'clock in the morning before?"
"I didn't do anything, I've been busy with movies until now. Although it's not good to make up nonsense casually, Liang Baoguang really doesn't want to mention Jessica's matter to his mother, no matter what position he is in, women are the same love of gossip, if he tells the truth and shows that he was in the Zheng family before, and has stayed until now, then wait to be interrogated by his mother, their financial housekeeping skills are to get to the bottom of it.
On Valentine's Day on February 14th, the streets of New York were full of "festive atmosphere", Yun Jingyi knew that her son was most likely lying, but she didn't dig into it, "When it comes to the movie, everything you asked me to do has been done, and if nothing else, MegaBox will be surnamed Liang before the end of the second fiscal quarter." β
"It's hard work, when I go back to the United States, I will rub your shoulders and beat your legs. Liang Baoguang waved his fist excitedly, after having its own cinema chain, CJ Group can basically kick aside, and after Xinsheng Group has a faΓ§ade, other industries can gradually shake off the influence of several chaebols.
"I don't really understand why I have to borrow Lehman's hand, your father has done so many bad things, I don't believe that he will not be able to take out the only 150 billion won, and I owe a lot of human debt to invest from Lehman. Liang Baoguang gave Yun Jingyi the idea to find a way to persuade Lehman Brothers to invest money in the project of Xinsheng Group to acquire MegaBox, although she did it out of trust in her son, but did not understand the reason.
"There are competitors in this acquisition, and Australia's Macquarie Investment Group is very eager for their Korean comprehensive investment to win MegaBox, and the Korean professional kneel and lick the white skin...... So what is the nature of sixty years, Haoliyou will transfer the theater chain to us?" Liang Baoguang's reason is far more than this, but the main reason is indeed because the competitor is very strong, and without Lehman coming forward, he is afraid that the price will be raised to more than 80 billion won before.
"Okay, anyway, the talks are all settled, just let your dad hurry up and go through the procedures next month, and I'll go back to the office." "Yun Jingyi is a busy person, and she rarely calls for more than ten minutes except for conference calls.
"Then you're busy, I'm going to take a shower. Liang Baoguang put down his phone and glanced at the Han River outside the window, the forbearance of more than two months has finally come to an end, just waiting for the summer to come, when he returns to the peninsula again, it is bound to make the red terror of the year reappear.
