Chapter 209: Bai Changzhu
Chen Zaitian stopped the practice of the boom and said to Jin Zhongguo embarrassedly: "Brother Zhongguo, this ...... I'm not going. ”
Kim Jong Kook is talking about Yoo Jae-seok's invitation to him to Chen Jae-tian, wanting him to have time to star in their current variety show "Family Birth" on SBS.
"The Birth of a Family" is a section of South Korea's SBS TV's large-scale variety show "Sunday is Nice" every Sunday, starring the host Yoo Jae-seok and several regular guests and special guests. In each issue, the artists form a family and choose a family in the countryside and spend a day and a night here. During this period, the family has to complete all kinds of farm work left by the owner, the confrontation game of the detachment, and the cooperative cooking to fill the stomach, the family competition for a better sleeping position, etc., is a funny show that shows the original ecology of the artists.
In addition to Lee Tianxi and Park Ye-jin, who have withdrawn, the regular members include Yoo Jae-seok, Kim Jong Kook, Lee Hyori, Yoon Jong-shin, Kang Dae-sung, Kim so-ro, Park Hae-jin, and Park Shi-yeon, eight popular artists in the entertainment industry. The ratings even surpassed KBS2TV's "2 Days and 1 Night" and MBC's "We Are Married" as its strong competitors.
"What's this, you should just go out with us for two days and one night." Kim Jong Kook said with a smile.
Chen Zaitian paused hesitantly, nodded and said, "Okay, let's see if we have time in the future, there may really be no time for this time." ”
"Hehe, whatever you want," Kim Jong Kook said with a smile: "As long as you say this, don't worry." On the show, I'll follow Brother Shi and take care of you. ”
Chen Zaitian had no choice but to smile and say thank you to Kim Jong Kook.
Exercise always makes people feel open and comfortable.
One afternoon with Kim Jong Kook in the gym sweating hard, after a comfortable hot bath, Chen Zaitian found that although his body was a little tired, his mental state was very good, and he felt a sense of freshness. It seems that in such a short period of time, some troubles and thoughts are pouring out with sweat, which also makes him drive out again with energy.

"Third brother." As soon as Chen Zaitian got out of the car, Xu Wenjin came over and shouted at him.
During this time, he has been stumped by the affairs of the entertainment industry, and Chen Zaitian has not been to the Red Star Boxing Gym and Entertainment City for a long time, and Xu Wenjin has called him a few times before.
"Where's Brother Zhengchang?" Chen Zaitian pressed the electronic lock and locked the car. It was also a walk forward.
"He's playing billiards with two school girls in there." Xu Wenjin replied.
"Playing billiards? When did he learn this thing? Chen Zaitian said.
"How do I know?" Xu Wenjin grabbed Chen Zaitian's shoulder, blinked and smiled, "Don't care about him for now, third brother." It's rare for you to come. Go with me to the punch. Hehe, let me see if you still have the shelves you used to have at school. ”
Chen Zaitian smiled bitterly, he had just worked out in the gym in the afternoon. Now it's a big evening boxing, it's a real toss-up. However, he didn't refuse Xu Wenjin's words, and followed him into the gym, mainly because he hadn't been here for a long time, and he also wanted to go in and have a look.
Chen Zaitian's plan for Xu Wenjin's 'gray society' can be said to be really good, at least from the little information that Xu Wenjin and Kim Zhengchang brought from time to time when they chatted.
Since the underworld is an underworld, it naturally has to have its appearance. Of course, few of the things he did were legal, but in Chen Zaitian's plan, he had already helped Xu Wenjin create a lot of vulgar and extreme 'business'. In addition to collecting some protection fees, Xu Wenjin's territory is currently mainly engaged in gray activities based on 'partnership' KTV, bars, loan sharks and underground boxing markets. Except for the underground boxing market, all other businesses are invested in partnerships.
No matter which country or region, there are always a lot of people with illegal income, and their money will eventually come from more or less unknown sources. There are corruption and bribery of government personnel, and naturally there are also company insiders who enrich their own pockets, at this time, there is always a need for some special channels and some special intermediaries to launder money for them, so in fact, this itself is already illegal, and it is also a kind of biological chain under the gray society.
One invests money, the other contributes...... As long as there is interest, whether legal or illegal, there is always a way to cooperate.
Although Xu Wenjin is not a lot of 'partner investors' now, at least he has made a name for himself in the gray society of Seoul, and he is also a hooligan, but with the assistance of Chen Zaitian, he has gradually evolved from the lowest vulgar class to a higher level.
A hooligan who only knows how to swing his fist is called a gangster, and a hooligan who knows how to swing his fist and knows how to use his brain and knowledge is called a tycoon! Chen Zaitian didn't expect Xu Wenjin to become a tycoon, but at least let the tycoon shake hands when he saw him.
I have to say, not to mention other aspects, Xu Wenjin not only knows how to swing his fists now, but also 'swings' very well.
After several months of 'publicity and development', the boxing gym has begun to appear in scale, not to mention anything else, just after Chen Zaitian followed Xu Wenjin into the boxing gym, it is not difficult to see the court situation of nearly 100 people inside. Chen Zaitian knows that at least 20 of the fighters here are Xu Wenjin's people, and they are all people who have just retired and are interested in the 'gray society'. These people have been trained by real boxers, and they are boxing training assistants and staff working in the gym on weekdays, but in private they are Xu Wenjin's 'elite troops'. It is precisely by relying on them that Xu Wenjin can protect his own interests and those of his current 'investment partners'.
Interestingly, there seem to be a lot of people who like boxing, when Chen Zaitian suggested opening an underground boxing gym, it was more about paying attention to its 'gambling boxing' dark side, but I don't want Xu Wenjin's boxing studio environment is really good, compared to the noisy Seoul city, other small small boxing gyms, Xu Wenjin, a boxing gym built with a parking lot on the first floor of a depressed building, is obviously much more atmospheric in terms of area and decoration.
People who have suffered too much real-life worries and pressures, and like to vent with fist exercise, are obviously much more open and comfortable here, so there are many people who actually come here to exercise boxing, both men and women, young and middle-aged.
Then, when the weekend night falls, the hottest violents gather here to watch the upcoming underground showdown between men.
After the underground ticket, it is naturally the underground casino!
This place was originally opened for the underground boxing market!
Fanatics come here every week to vent their bloody, violent, bloody side, and of course, except for the fighters, they can only be a mental catharsis in the audience, no one will make trouble here, and they dare not make trouble here. This is how powerful Xu Wenjin is, but except for him, almost all the bosses of Seoul's South District will not let this kind of thing happen, because it will affect their business, because they and Xu Wenjin are the bankers of the gambling house!
This is naturally Chen Zaitian's suggestion. No matter how big the snake's mouth is, it is not enough to swallow an elephant, and even if it can barely swallow it, it will eventually die on its own. Xu Wenjin naturally can't eat this piece of cake in one go, if this is the case, Chen Zaitian believes that he will definitely not see the sun in the next month in just one month.
In the underground boxing market, in addition to the absolute collection of tickets by Xu Wenjin, the gambling house is controlled in partnership with a number of local leaders in the south of Seoul according to Chen Zaitian's meaning, and the interests are naturally divided into shares.
Because of this, Chen Zaitian has heard Kim Zhengchang say several times that Xu Wenjin has been mixing really well in the 'underground' in Seoul during this time, and many leaders on the turf have slowly cooperated and made friends with him.
For these, Chen Zaitian also listened, he didn't want to participate in this kind of thing too much, just because Xu Wenjin was his younger brother, he would care about it, as long as he didn't have anything, Chen Zaitian would toss him around. In fact, some of the decisions of the boxing gym Chen Zaitian not only sought rights for Xu Wenjin, but also did not want to give him an extra layer of protection. Like now, Xu Wenjin has such a number of partners on the road, and his connections are naturally different from the past, and it is estimated that those who want to move him will have to weigh it.
Of course, Chen Zaitian will not be stupid enough to really fight with Xu Wenjin. Although Xu Wenjin was depressed, he couldn't do anything about him.
"Hey, Wen Jin,"
Chen Zaitian followed Xu Wenjin for a while, he himself took a pair of boxing gloves, and after pretending to hit him a few times, he was also about to pull him to eat, but he didn't want to suddenly hear a cry from not far away.
Chen Zaitian and Xu Wenjin hurriedly turned their heads to look.
"Hey, Brother Changzhu!" (To be continued......)
