Chapter 47: The Follow-up to "Legend".
On the third night of Choi's return to Busan, the women and children of the family gathered around the TV, waiting for the long-awaited drama to officially begin. That's right, today is the premiere day of the TV series of the same name "Chrysanthemum Fragrance", as the ambition of KBS TV, it is specially scheduled to be broadcast on Monday and Tuesday, which is commonly known as the moon fire drama.
Cui Zhenlong boredly picked up a piece of apple and put it in his mouth, suddenly he thought of something, and suddenly said excitedly: "Oh Mom, let's bet on the premiere ratings!" β
"Betting on premiere ratings? What is that?? Everyone asked curiously.
"Just guess the ratings of the first episode of the TV series! This is generally the tradition of the crew, at the time of the premiere, everyone gets together to guess the ratings of the TV series, and whoever guesses closer to it even if he wins, of course, the money won is also used to treat guests, this is for the hit of the TV series to please a good fortune! But now "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" is impossible, it has already been filmed! Cui Zhenlong said regretfully
"This is interesting" Cui Gengjing took out a pen and paper, "Let's guess!" Well~~ I guess 25%, bet 100,000 won. β
"Cut~~ It's just a little bit! β¦ I guess 36%, bet... This one... 200,000 won," Choi Jin-ryong said.
"Then I'll bet 30%, 100,000"
"28%, 100,000"
β¦β¦
In the end, even the men in the family participated, and Choi Gengyou even gambled on "50%, 1 million won", Cui Zhenlong looked at him speechlessly: "Nima, don't do this, 50% of the ratings have become national TV dramas, it's really... You don't have to be so obvious to shoot your wife's ass, right?! β
With a good musical prelude, the TV series "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" officially began its journey, Cui Zhenlong pinched his fingers hard, to be honest, he was still a little nervous in his heart, there was no TV version of "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" in his previous life, although he was confident that the ratings would not be bad this time, but when it came to the end, it was inevitable that there would be fluctuations in the feelings of ordinary people.
Looking at the picturesque scenes on TV, Cui Zhenlong couldn't help but sigh that Yoon Seok-ho is worthy of being the top TV director in South Korea. The first episode of "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" ends with Meishu being pushed into the operating room, but Cui Zhenlong has already felt the extraordinary charm of this drama, and then it will be up to him to see how far it can go.
"Oh Mom, let's call Director Yin, he should already know what the ratings are," Cui Zhenlong said.
"It's... I think it's better to wait a little longer! Park so-hui was a little hesitant.
At this moment, the mobile phone rang, Park Xiuhui picked it up and took a look, it really happened to be a call from Yin Xihu, and hurriedly pressed the answer button: "Hello, Director Yin... Inside, our whole family watched it, and you took a very good shot... Inside... OMO, is it true? Hehe... Thank you, and congratulations, for such a great shot! β¦ Goodbye, Director Yoon! β
Hearing that it was Director Yoon Seok-ho who called, Choi Jin-ryong was a little impatient next to Park so-hye, and when he saw the end of the call, he asked, "Oh Mom, what did Director Yoon say?" β
Park Xiuhui glanced at him, a shallow smile hung on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't say the final answer, she sat back on the sofa and slowly picked up a piece of apple and ate it...
"Oh Mom~~~," Cui Zhenlong shouted.
Seeing that Choi Jin-ryong's appetite was almost hanged, Park so-hye opened his mouth and said: "36.6% in the Seoul area and 34.1% in the national area!" β
βYesοΌβ Cui Zhenlong waved his fist excitedly, and then the whole person pounced... Belch... The pile of money on the table, and then he went back to his room at superhuman speed.
When the little ones in the family saw this situation, their eyes lit up, and they followed the eldest brother to share the spoils, and even Cui Zhenyong, who was only four years old, followed with a fart. Well, the third generation of the Cui family was completely damaged by Cui Zhenlong's goods, and the little ones know the truth of "if you have a advantage, you have to take advantage of it". The next day, Cui Zhenlong gave part of the money he won to his younger siblings as pocket money, and the rest bought all kinds of snacks to share with his family, which was considered to have spent all the money he won.
Just when the Cui family was sharing the joy of family, Cui Gengyou's work phone rang at an inopportune time, and after answering the phone, he beckoned to Cui Zhenlong, and the two fathers and sons tacitly walked to a room where no one was there and closed the door.
"Abba, what's wrong? Something happened to the company? Cui Zhenlong asked.
Cui Gengyou nodded and said, "It's Actoz's business, someone from Huaxia is here, it's a small company called SD Network, and the boss's surname is Chen." (PS: "SD network company" is the abbreviation at the beginning of pinyin, I won't say much about this company, everyone understands, the starting point is under the people's umbrella, the author is afraid of being audited, too troublesome, so many things are pronouns, I hope to understand!) And one more thing, it's fiction! Some things have nothing to do with reality, don't take it seriously after reading it! Here the author has one more sentence, and I will not explain it separately in the future! οΌ
Hearing the familiar name of this company, Cui Zhenlong immediately cheered up and continued to ask: "What are the plans of the people from Huaxia?" β
"Their goal is to have the exclusive rights to the online game "Legend" developed by Actoz in China."
"What about the price?"
"$250,000."
Hearing this, Cui Zhenlong shook his head decisively and said, "This is absolutely impossible, Abba, you tell Uncle Li Yican not be busy agreeing, this matter will be delayed for a while, and we will talk about it in detail after we return to Seoul." Choi Gengyou nodded, he knew that now was not the best time to talk about it, and based on past experience, his demon son must have already had a full plan.
In the afternoon, Choi Gengyou announced to his family that he would fly back to Seoul early tomorrow morning because the company had affairs to be resolved, and since her husband was going back, Park so-hye, as his wife, also said that he would go with him, and Choi Jin-ryong, who was homeopathic, also said that he would go back to review his homework in the third grade of middle school next school year.
Even the female Han paper Cui Gengjing said that she wanted to go back to the Seoul Publishing House to continue working, Cui Zhenlong couldn't help but give her a roll of the eyes, Shenma for work, obviously has returned to Seoul Li Xianjun is not by her side, and she has not seen lovesickness for a few days.
And grandpa and grandma are a little reluctant, but they will not stop this, but the three little ones don't want to go, these days they are crazy in Busan, under their coquettishness, in the end Cui Gengyou and his wife agreed to let them stay and play for a few more days.
The next day, the four of them returned to their home in Seoul, and Cui Gengjing slipped into his house to make a phone call, and everyone knew who to call. And Park Xiuhui was busy preparing lunch, and the maids at home were not there today, so she needed to do it herself, but fortunately, she often cooks by herself, and she has not regressed much in her skills, otherwise she will be foreign.
As for the two fathers and sons, they mysteriously entered the study one after another, Cui Zhenlong just entered the room and saw Cui Gengyou sitting on a chair looking forward to it, and hurriedly handed over the plan he had been preparing for a long time to the other party, and said: "Abba, this time Huaxia SD Company wants to pay to buy the exclusive agency of our "Legend" in the Huaxia region, I will not agree to this, it is not a matter of their bid, even if they offer 2 million US dollars, I will not agree, I know the real potential value of "Legend" better than anyone else!" The main core of this plan involves three points: 1. Our Actoz company invests in the other party's SD company with the exclusive agency right of "Legend" Huaxia plus an investment of 2 billion won, and wants to obtain at least 30% of the shares of the other company; 2. We do not participate in the specific operation of SD company, but we must have a board seat in the other company; 3. We have the right to make decisions in SD company, as well as the right to financial audit, and we will provide follow-up technical support for the game... Abba, the above three points are the bottom line in this cooperation between the two sides, and the rest depends on you and Uncle Li Yican to discuss! β
Cui Gengyou looked at the plan in his hand, and basically agreed with his son's plan in his heart, in general, each country and region has its own local protectionism, plus his own company has been established for too short a time, and there is no extensive network in mainland China, it is not so easy to take root in that vast land, and at this stage, it can only cooperate with Huaxia Company to initially enter this market.
"By the way, Actoz's "Millennium", an online game with the theme of ancient costume martial arts, is also very suitable for the Chinese market, and the R&D team is urged to speed up the progress and use it to continue cooperation with SD in the future. And Abba, you and Boss Chen of SD Company should deepen the relationship, preferably a good personal relationship, and the development of our company in China will still depend on him in the future" Cui Zhenlong took a sip of water and continued: "There is another very important thing, it is best for you to personally take people to the Virgin Islands, Samoa and other duty-free areas to register a company, so as to make preliminary preparations for the next step of integrating all our companies to establish a group company." β
After listening to Cui Zhenlong's words, Cui Gengyou smiled helplessly: "I know all this, it looks like I'm going to be busy again!" Also, if your Uncle Yichan knew about this plan, he would think that I was crazy, in his opinion, "Legend" has no value in continuing to develop, and now he prefers to devote his energy to the plan of the social networking site you mentioned earlier. β
