Chapter 1078: I almost had a scandal
readx;
Sun Jingxiang, Jiang Dai'er and Tang Jing had to go back to the room first to change out of the dresses at the celebration banquet just now, and Zhang Ke, Ye Jianbin, Sun Shangyi and others went to the top floor club first. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough it was almost late at night, all kinds of things were entangled, and it was difficult to calm down and rest.
The night before yesterday, the officials of the national football and men's national football teams and the Hong Kong Sports Development Council, at least the staff of Yingwan Park, knew the identities of Zhang Ke, Ye Jianbin and others, and they were extra dedicated to entertaining them.
Zhang Ke, Ye Jianbin and Sun Shangyi sat in the luxury box, never mentioning tonight's concert first, and first talked about Microsoft's intention to acquire the equity of Global Music Online.
In the conference call before the concert, Sun Shangyi, Ye Jianbin and others did not participate and will not participate directly, everyone performs their own duties, and everything in the Kumho system must be involved, and the three heads are not enough.
Although the overseas operation department in charge of Xiao Jincheng is financially owned by Kumho Sho, and the profits are also merged into Kumho Shoji, the purpose of this is to improve Kumho Shoji's financial structure, but in terms of business, it is still under the same umbrella as the AIDA Group, which belongs to Kumho's core consumer electronics and derivative business category.
Such a management structure may seem chaotic at first glance, but the decision-making mechanism of the 29-person meeting on top of the entire Kumho system has played a good coordination function, otherwise the coordination between the member companies in the system alone will make Zhang Ke scratch his head, and he will definitely not be able to enjoy life so leisurely.
Usually everyone performs their duties, and important events have timely memos forwarded to the members of the 29-person meeting, Microsoft proposed to acquire the shares of the global music online, Zhang Ke should not mention the topic at this time, Sun Shangyi, Ye Jianbin will not see it from the business mailbox until tomorrow morning at the earliest.
"Ah, how dare you open your mouth to the Microsoft Lion!" Ye Jianbin stared widely, "Nine hundred million dollars!" ”
Kumho merged all its overseas business units into Kumho Sho, and although the profit scale of its overseas business has increased significantly since the beginning of this year, it can only barely offset Kumho Sho's financial and management costs at this time, which is burdened with a huge debt of up to US$2.2 billion, and the financial cost of corporate debt interest alone will exceed US$100 million a year.
Although $300 million of the $2.2 billion is actually Kumho Corporation's own capital, the remaining $1.9 billion is actually debt.
There are more lice and he is not afraid of biting, and he has a debt of two billion US dollars, and Ye Jianbin does not feel anything, and besides, Kumho Commercial's investment in various places is blooming everywhere, and he only hates that the money is not enough, and if he has an additional debt of two billion US dollars, Ye Jianbin will feel more comfortable.
Last year, it was a rare opportunity to take advantage of the hasty flight of Chinese capital from Indonesia to raise money on a large scale, and now it is possible to raise funds on a large scale, but first of all, it is necessary to provide investors with reliable financial reports to prove that investing in Kumho Shoji is an act of low risk and stable returns - Kumho Sho's financial structure at this time is simply not able to support large-scale financing.
Although Ye Jianbin said that Zhang Ke was opening his mouth to the Microsoft lion, didn't he expect the Microsoft management to collectively agree to their conditions? If it is able to cash out $900 million from Microsoft, and then cash out another $300 million or 400 million after the maturity of the shares of Quantum Online held by ESS, Kumho's cash flow will be as much as 12.3 billion US dollars out of thin air, and on this basis, it will be able to refinance another billion US dollars in the Chinese business circle in Southeast Asia, and Kumho Commercial will not have to worry about funding problems for at least two years.
Now that the Yan family's Hongxin Department is making such a big deal in Haisu Technology, isn't it for capital hunger?
Ye Jianbin fantasized for a while, shook his head again, and said: "Impossible, don't dream about it, if we can knock out $300 million from Microsoft, we should be content......"
"Asking for a price all over the sky, sitting on the ground to pay back......" Zhang Ke still said with a smile.
Being outside the circle of Microsoft's decision-makers, he will not know the strategic intentions of Microsoft's decision-makers, but Zhang Ke knows Microsoft's development process in the next ten years, and he can almost infer the strategic intentions of Microsoft's decision-makers at this time, so he knows that there is still room for bargaining for $900 million.
"What are you talking about?" Sun Jingxiang changed into civilian clothes and walked in, sitting next to her father Sun Shangyi.
"You're talking about how to blackmail Microsoft...... Sun Shangyi smiled and patted the back of his eldest daughter's hand holding his arm.
"Blackmailing Microsoft?" Sun Jingxiang asked suspiciously, and asked like this, there are some things to figure out, let alone spend half an hour listening carefully to the explanation, so she doesn't have the leisure time to ask Kumho about the details of trade secrets.
"I'll take Dai'er as my goddaughter, and I'll do wine tomorrow, if anyone dares to do anything to target Dai'er, it will be to directly splash sewage on my Ge family's head." Ge Mingjue walked into the box, and the anger in her heart had not subsided, and she stood there announcing her decision.
Zhang Ke looked up at Dai'er, Dai'er changed into a lilac short skirt and stood behind Ge Mingjue shyly, her eyes deliberately avoided him, and then looked at the expressions of Tang Jing and Midsummer who walked in, thinking that this should be what they said when they went back to the room to change clothes just now, stood up and took Tang Jing's little hand, let her sit beside her, and smiled at Sun Shangyi and said, "Congratulations on having another good daughter......
The Hong Kong entertainment industry has a close relationship with the partial door, and the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is strong, and Dai'er can only be regarded as a popular artist and cash cow under Century Huayin at most at this time, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any insidious means to use against her, Sun Shangyi and Ge Mingjue will accept her as a goddaughter, and the meaning is very different.
Zhang Ke was very happy to be able to arrange it like this, but he couldn't show too much, and congratulated Sun Shangyi and Ge Mingjue, but did not congratulate Jiang Tao and Li Yueru, showing some differences, it looked like he was only happy for Sun Shangyi and Ge Mingjue to accept their goddaughter.
"Tonight's incident, there is something inappropriate about Dai'er's parents, please forgive them for their love for their daughter, and I will ask them to toast you to make amends." Ge Mingjue regarded herself as a godmother, took care of everything, and said to Zhang Ke.
Seeing that Dai'er and her parents were really going to come over to toast and make amends with a red wine bottle, Zhang Ke hurriedly stood up, grabbed the goblet in Dai'er's father's hand, didn't let him toast, and said with a smile: "If you don't let Aunt Li grab two more on my right cheek, I'll let Uncle Jiang and Aunt Li toast me?" "If you want to toast Dale and her parents again, it won't be a white kiss for Dale in the infirmary—though I don't know when I'll have the opportunity to kiss that delicate and seductive lips again.
Zhang Ke's gag with a smile made it difficult for Jiang Tao and Li Yueru to insist on toasting and making amends, but they refused to sit down.
Jiang Tao, Li Yueru and Zhang Ke first met during the Spring Festival in 96, but after all, there was not much contact, and some subtle little things Daier didn't tell them.
Even if Ling Xiaoyan has been in contact with Zhang Ke frequently enough over the years, plus Zhu Xiaojun High-tech Zone followed Yao Wensheng, it was only after Chuangyu was officially integrated into Kumho that she, as the senior management of Chuangyu, saw the outline of the entire industrial empire more clearly.
Li Yueru or Dai'er officially decided to take a break from Tunghai University before following around, at that time Dai'er's acting career had almost been taken over by Sun Jingxiang, even if she had been cooperating with Aida Group for advertising endorsements over the years, it was also a matter between Century Huayin and Aida Group, and Li Yueru was not deeply involved.
Jiang Tao has been staying in Huishan to run his casting factory, even if he has a relationship with officials such as Song Xiao, a member of the Standing Committee of the Huishan Municipal Party Committee, because of Zhang Ke, he has never been able to integrate into the inner circle of Huishan's high society, and naturally it is impossible to know about Kumho.
In the eyes of Jiang Tao and Li Yueru, they can vaguely know that the power behind Zhang Ke is very large, and Dai'er can develop to this day, Zhang Ke has provided a lot of help, but some situations are not understood, plus Li Yueru has been with Dai'er for the past two years, has close contact with the Sun family, has seen the luxury of the Sun family's daily life, and knows more clearly that the Sun family is a real rich family, and they think that the real nobles in Dai'er's acting career are Sun Jingxiang and the Sun family.
If you want to talk about snobbery, Li Yueru is much more snobbish than her husband Jiang Tao, but no matter how snobbish a parent is, she will never watch her daughter rip off her clothes and bully others, and she can still hold back her anger and not be angry. Of course, when Jiang Tao and Li Yueru calmed down, and knew that there was a reason for the incident, and they had misunderstood others, they became afraid.
Although Sun Jingxiang, Xu Wei, and Tang Jing repeatedly told them that they didn't need to take this matter to heart, and even Dai'er asked them to relax, they couldn't let go of their worries in their hearts, and felt that they had toasted and apologized in person, and Zhang Ke also accepted this matter in person before it could be finished.
Jiang Tao and Li Yueru insisted on toasting and apologizing before they could rest assured, even Ge Mingjue felt that Zhang Ke's status and identity were so important, he must give him a face to step down, and persuaded Zhang Ke to take this glass of wine on the side.
Where is Zhang Ke willing to let Dai'er's parents toast and apologize to him, if Dai'er's parents drink this glass of wine, wouldn't it be that Dai'er's second kiss will never land again?
Sun Shangyi knew about the conspiracy that happened tonight, but he didn't know the details of Zhang Ke's face, listening to Zhang Ke's gag here, he didn't understand what was going on for a while, but seeing that he dealt with this matter lightly, he was too serious and ruined the atmosphere, stood up and said: "Everyone here is a private relationship, Zhang Ke is friends with Shizuka and Jingmeng, we are going to be considered elders, if you are in a good mood and want to eat more, then everyone stands down and eats openly, even if you toast or not, don't be too restrained...... If you want to say toasting, you should also let Dai'er toast me and Mingjue first......"
Sun Shangyi said this, which was equivalent to admitting that he accepted Dai'er as his goddaughter, Jiang Tao and Li Yueru hurriedly handed the wine glass that had been poured wine to Dai'er, and asked her to toast Sun Shangyi and Ge Mingjue.
Dai'er toasted Sun Shangyi and Ge Mingjue, and said to Zhang Ke: "On behalf of my parents, I toast you to make amends, you must drink this glass of wine......
Looking at Dai'er's beautiful eyes with a different kind of affection, Zhang Ke thought that he would always let Dai'er's parents relax, picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly, only to listen to the pleasant sound of the wine glass, and drank most of the red wine in one go; Daile also drank half a glass of red wine on her stomach, her smooth skin revealed a seductive flush, slightly tucked her chin, and sat back beside her mother, her eyes avoided looking at Zhang Ke anymore, for fear that if she looked at it again, she would not be able to hide anything.
In this way, everyone was happy, sat down to talk and laugh, Xu Wei hurriedly walked outside, she held a few thick pieces of paper rolled up in her hand, looked at Zhang Ke drinking there, and said: "Let you see the level of the Hong Kong paparazzi......"
Zhang Ke looked at Xu Wei and spread it out but there were several printed color photos, the top one was the image of Jiang Daier singing on the stage in a shirt, and the second one was a photo of him walking into the backstage, although only a small half of his face was revealed from the side and back, but Zhang Ke knew that it was himself who took it, and he, Fu Jun and the accompanying bodyguards did not realize that they were taking pictures. Both photos are clearly marked with red markers on the same shirt on their bodies.
Xu Wei spread out a piece of paper under the photo and read: ""The New Generation of Singers Concert, Men Behind the Scenes Appear", is such a news headline enough to be appalling? ”
"Ahem......" Zhang Ke coughed twice to hide the embarrassment in his heart, even if everyone here understood what was going on, he still had a kind of guilt in his heart to be caught by a thief, and he was a little afraid to look at Tang Jing, and said with a shy face: "When did you shoot it, I didn't care about ...... at all"
Sun Jingxiang took the photo and looked at it, and said to Xu Wei: "This is a snapshot of the photo, it may be that Zhang Ke took the car to the parking lot and went directly to the backstage to attract the attention of the dog...... Which newspaper's paparazzi sent these things over, was it ready to sell us the negatives? ”
"The offer is a million!" Xu Wei said, "They also took photos of the car, and they shouldn't have taken a picture of Zhang Ke's face." ”
"It's really a shame to ask for money," Zhang Ke patted his forehead and said disdainfully, "It would be good to inform the police that this media is involved in the national flag shirt incident and is suspected of extortion, and let the police take back the negatives as evidence......"
It's really thrilling to think about, but fortunately, he stayed in the infirmary after the concert to deal with the scratches on his face, and didn't immediately go to the Peninsula Hotel with Jiang Daier and them to celebrate, otherwise the flaws in his shirt would have been discovered by all the photographers present. Hong Kong's entertainment media are particularly fond of stalking, and even if the national flag shirt incident is shaken out, it may not be able to clarify the scandal, but it will only become more and more entangled, and eventually his identity will be completely exposed to the Hong Kong media. Only one media paparazzi found out, and it was only a small half of the face captured from the side back, the matter was easily solved, and the police told the paparazzi the origin of the flag shirt incident, and the paparazzi dared to write and report nonsense, and they could sue them for bankruptcy.
