Chapter 19: The Dust Settles
Gu Mojie even threatened and pretended to be coerced, and when Steven was lame, Gu Guangmo, the prince of LG Group, was venting his dissatisfaction in the villa hotel.
After he succeeded his uncle as a stepson in 04, except for the first year, he was cautious and tried to consolidate his favor. In the next two years, when I saw that my position was stable, my true nature was gradually revealed, and I didn't refuse to drink, and I slept with a lot of female artists.
However, no matter how many female stars he sleeps with, that is, mainly second-line, and most of them are group singers or actresses. is a real non-group first-line female singer, even as he is the prince of LG Group, he has never been able to sleep.
The reason for this is nothing more than that group singers and even actors are more likely to be coerced by brokerage companies and other capital parties - no matter how popular the group is, it does not mean that the members of the group are personally popular, and if they do not listen to the brokerage company's pick-up arrangements, the brokerage company can naturally use "replacing substitute players into the group" as a threat to make female artists obediently obey. As for actresses, if they are not first-line stars, they are easily blocked by capital at the level of director and producer.
And the first-line SOLO female singers are different, their fame is earned by themselves, the fans are also their personal fans, and the record does not require teamwork like movies and television. As a result, there are generally more hard-core examples of female SOLO artists.
Men are looking for girls, more or less guilty of cheap attributes, the more you can't get something, the more precious it is. Therefore, when he met the national goddess Quan Baoer at the door of the hotel in the morning, Gu Guangmo's heart was very pleasantly surprised at first.
In recent years, the hottest female singer in Japan and South Korea, and there have never been scandals, and she is as guarded as a jade - at least with the countless vicious eyes of his royal daughter, it can be clearly seen that Quan Bao'er is still innocent - plus Bao'er herself is also from an official eunuch family, and her family industry is tens of billions (won).
If you can get such a woman, this life will be worth it! The sense of accomplishment may be second only to inheriting my uncle's family business one day.
It's a pity that he was cut off by a "flip-flop casual man" who was reckless in an oblique stab! The key is that the other party is richer than him! It took four or five years for one to earn more money than the family business earned by their "four worlds and three dukes" of the Gu family!
Moreover, not only did they rob women but not each other, but even in terms of Google's Android plan hardware definition standards, LG is still at a disadvantage in the competition with Hatsune!

He was sweating and roaring, stirring and venting on a pair of Hollywood third-tier blonde micks he had just found in the afternoon. In a place like Beverly Hills, there is always no shortage of women who are eager to be famous and willing to give their **, and after hearing about his background, they didn't get into bed without hooking their hands.
After a discharge, it is even more empty. Relying on the number of third-tier actresses has failed to bridge the gap in quality.
The mobile phone rang very unfriendly, and the official ringtone of his own company sounded extremely harsh to Gu Guangmo's ears at the moment.
"Who?"
"Yes...... LG Group's 'MR. JU'? Hello, please allow me to introduce myself, I am the CEO of Fire Fist Games, and you may know that our company's former product, Blizzard Warcraft's DOTA, was developed by us...... I heard that your Korean entertainment company is enthusiastic about investing in esports game development companies, so I ......"
"Get out! LG doesn't need this kind of waste! "Gu Guangmo has just finished ejaculation, and his heart is empty, and it is simply suicide to talk to him about business at this time.
Steven Sheep Knife didn't hear the word "waste" at the end, and he should be thankful that the other party's phone had been smashed before that.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Guangmo took out several stacks of dollar tips, each stack always had tens of thousands of dollars, scattered them on the bed, then lit a cigar afterwards, and walked to the lounge outside alone.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and his phone exploded again, so he could only knock on the door and call his female secretary.
"Young Master, please command."
"Check with me if there are any creative commissions in our company, or advertising endorsements from artists from S-M Company. If you have any of them, report them to me - especially the powerful one. β
"Okay young master."
The female secretary was efficient and came back in less than ten minutes.
"At present, the two biggest endorsements for S-M's artists should be to ask the Girls' Generation group to endorse our mobile phone - at the same time, the company also asked S-M to produce a new song to promote the company's next-generation 'chocolate series' mobile phone, including the MV, the current tentative song is called "Chocolate LOVE", which was originally scheduled to be released on the album released next year."
"Isn't there an endorsement from Quan Bao'er herself?" Gu Guangmo was unwilling and asked.
"None of her own. But ......"
"But what?"
"I mean, even though S-M is currently a private company, the shareholding structure doesn't need to be open to the public; However, we still have our own information channels, and I just checked it and found that S-M Company had a heavy shareholding change a week ago. Kwon spent about 50 billion won worth of money to absorb 14% of the company's shares at one time; Originally, two or three medium-sized shareholders ranked outside the top 10 stocks were swallowed up by her at a premium. Therefore, she is currently the fourth largest shareholder of S-M, and it is possible that S-M will hold a meeting in the next few months to change the order of directors. β
"She's actually a major shareholder?" Gu Guangmo was startled, and then regained his composure, "That's fine, at least she needs to be responsible for the company's operation - go, cancel the commissioned creation of "Chocolate LOVE" and Girls' Generation's endorsement of our chocolate mobile phone." I don't care what the specific means are, in short, I want the company to lose less money and hurt the disobedient guys of S-M! β
"Young Master! This...... This involves billions of won in transactions. And after Girls' Generation debuted this year, it is popular, and if the endorsement contract with them continues, the company will definitely make ......"
"Go for it!"
"Yes...... Okay, young master. β

After Gu Mojie and Steven Sheep Knife finished talking, he took Bao'er to visit "Little Tokyo", Chinatown and Koreatown in Los Angeles' DOWN-TOWN that evening. Finally, I had a meal of crayfish mapo tofu in Chinatown and returned to the Beverly Hills Hotel.
The food culture of Los Angeles's immigrant settlements has left a deep impression on both Gu Mojie and Bao'er -- the people here seem to be accustomed to using ingredients that can only be seen in North America, and dealing with them with Chinese, Japanese and Korean cooking methods, often with unexpected surprises, and it seems that Americans can't think that they can't cook with a stick -- at least there are quite a few immigrants who use American ingredients to cook their own dishes.
Because he played too late, and he didn't have to watch Mo Jie every day for follow-up negotiations, he slept until 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, and didn't wake him up until Ye Minru called him to inform him that Steven was soft.
When Gu Mojie heard the news, he was quite surprised: "So quickly convinced? It's not as good as I thought. β
Ye Minru laughed teasingly: "That thing stupidly called Gu Guangmo last night, and I don't know how the Americans' brains grow." I heard that Gu Guangmo also dropped his mobile phone - this kind of thing was not explained and kept secret, so after a little inquiry, he pried it out. β
"Ha, that's good -- prepare $30 million, and I'm going to see 75% of the shares of Fire Fist in the next few days. The rest is to wait until we have seized control of the company, and then we will talk about it slowly. You remember to give that Steven a little bit of a future position, and in the process, it will also keep him motivated, lest he jump off the wall. β
"Understood." Ye Minru competently agreed and hung up the phone.
is also calling a female secretary to do things, how can there be such a big gap?
Ye Minru got things done without any suspense.
On the other hand, Google's Android conference is also going well.
Regarding the current version of the draft framework of the Android system, what points must be modified for Apple's advantageous design, after a few days of discussion, all parties have basically made it clear.
The main remaining issue is the dispute over the right to define the default setting standards for hardware input and output.
HTC and Hatsune formed a relatively loose alliance, and after Gu Mojie and Wang Xuehong mediated, they basically reached an exchange of interests that "Hatsune pays for the main part of the money, but must negotiate with HTC in the definition of hardware indicators, and fully consider the compatibility of VIA platform interface standards".
The small factories were swept out of the competition circle, and only LG was left there, waiting for the final showdown.
Gu Guangmo has always been unwilling to give up the struggle for dominance.
In his eyes, LG's family business is much larger than HTC, and HTC's only advantage is that when it comes to the industrial chain of mobile phones, the layout depth is larger than LG's, and the technical advantages are more obvious than LG's.
On the other hand, although LG's family business is not as large as Hatsune Group, it entered the market one or two years earlier than Hatsune in the mobile phone industry, and the "chocolate" series of mobile phones that made LG famous was listed as early as 06.
Therefore, LG's positioning belongs to the state of "playing tennis with chess champions and swimming champions against chess", and they are in a state of moderation in terms of capital and technology.
In the end, when the negotiations entered the white heat, it was Google's Larry Page who personally made a plan:
"Bid. Don't just bid at auctions. Let's follow the model of this technical standard + business standard, each company will list the technical index definition plan in detail, and then list the amount of R&D investment and specific payment methods for one-time bidding. The score of technical standards accounts for 30%, and the score of commercial standards accounts for 70%. 20% of the bid amount is prepaid as the bid deposit. β
Gu Mojie has no opinion, and neither does Wang Xuehong.
Sensing the danger, Gu Guangmo thought for a moment and only added a question: "This form of joint bidding is not allowed, right?" β
Larry Page replied thoughtfully: "If there is a collusion in the form of harming the interests of Google, restricting bids, etc., of course it is not allowed." β
Gu Guangmo gritted his teeth and could only agree, he didn't have much say in this matter.
"Let's go back and make an offer." (To be continued.) )
