In South Korea, when people think of movies, they think of Chungmuro, just as in the United States, when they talk about movies, they think of Hollywood. There is a close "equal relationship" between this street in the center of Seoul and Korean films. Since the 60s of this century, Chungmuro has gathered most of the Korean film production institutions and more than a dozen movie theaters, and it is not only regarded as an important distribution center for the Korean film industry, but also as a vane for the development of Korean films.

On the 3rd Street of Chungmuro Road, there are two large movie theaters within 150 meters of Hangang Film Company's Tuanseongsha Theater and Seoul Theater. After Sun Ziming came to South Korea, he spent most of the day reading scripts or communicating with some young directors.

"Brother Zaixian? Wait a minute, I'll be right away. ”

Sun Ziming raised his hand to say hello to Lee Jae-hyun, signaled him to take it easy, and continued to say to a young man in front of him: "OK, Mr. Xu, we have decided to shoot "August Photo Studio". ”

"Oh", Xu Qinhao, who is a little hunched over at a height of one meter and eight, jumped up from the chair excitedly and bowed to Sun Ziming to thank him. This is a master of world cinema, and he actually took a fancy to his script! Oh my God, this is the manifestation of the Buddha!

"Ok, let me tell me what I think?"

"Please, please advise!"

Xu Qinhao, who ran into walls everywhere, was a little incoherent with excitement, and he was so lucky to get the guidance of contemporary film masters.

Sun Ziming pondered and commented: "Mr. Xu, your script has a strong personal style, the feelings are extremely delicate and beautiful, sad and not pretentious, and the emotions are very natural. In other words, you are a typical literary film director.

I'm not saying that this style is bad, but we are a film company, and while pursuing artistic value, we will naturally pursue the box office, so I propose that you let Miss Lee Young-ae play Delin. I'm not saying that Miss Shen Yinhe's acting skills are not good, but Miss Lee Young-ae is quite well-known in both the Chinese-speaking region and Japan, do you know what I mean? ”

Xu Qinhao didn't want anything, and hurriedly agreed: "I listen to you, I listen to you." ”

Helping Yingai receive a classic film, Sun Ziming was also very happy, and said happily: "Mr. Xu, I am just out of business considerations, if you think it is not suitable, you can decide for yourself." The director is the core of the film, and everyone should respect the director's ideas. ”

Xu Qinhao hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, I also think Miss Lee Young-ae is very suitable, but if I invite Mr. Han Seok-gyu and Miss Young-ae at the same time, I am afraid that the budget will be too high." ”

After the translator Jin Tingyan next to him finished translating, he saw that there was a big man waiting next to him, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, they are all actors of our SM, and the remuneration for acting in literary films and commercial films is different." Rest assured, we'll do that. Otherwise, I'll take you to the production department to sign the agreement first, and then you hurry up and put the show together? ”

"Thank you, thank you", Xu Qinhao hurriedly thanked him, shook hands with Sun Ziming with both hands and said goodbye, today is really his lucky day.

Just walked past Xu Qinhao, who was excited, Li Xiuman knocked on the door again and came in, and when he saw that Li Zaixian was also in the office, he was happy and hurriedly greeted him. The two exchanged a few words, and Li Xiuman reported: "Mr. Sun, the film adaptation rights of "Joint Security Area" have been negotiated, and the price is 100 million won, do you think?" ”

It's not a good thing to report at a higher level, but with outsiders there, Sun Ziming still gave Li Xiuman this dignity, and said with a smile: "Xiuman, you can just make your own decisions about these things, and you don't have to report everything to me." ”

"Okay, then I'll arrange someone to sign the agreement, you are busy first", Li Xiuman finished his expression in front of Sun Ziming, and hurriedly said goodbye.

When his subordinates all went out, Lee Jae-hyun, who was also wearing suits and leather shoes on a hot day, exclaimed: "Mr. Sun, I really didn't expect your office to be so simple. ”

Sun Ziming, who was wearing a T-shirt, cropped pants, and basketball shoes, looked at Lee Jae-hyun in a straight suit and quipped: "Brother Jae-hyun, aren't you hot?" I'm not a Sven like you, I'm a barbarian who can fight actors on set! ”

'Ahem, cough, cough', Li Zaixian let Sun Ziming stop, coughed twice before smiling bitterly: "Mr. Sun, you are a celebrity and gentleman, if I also learn from you, it will make people laugh and be rude." ”

It's not a celebrity demeanor, it's just an impression that Korean directors are approachable, and Sun Ziming gave Lee Jae-hyun a cigarette, helped him light a fire, and waited for him to speak.

Don't look at this guy is only a few years older than himself, but he is really an old fox in the mall, and while contacting himself, he actually has a relationship with Debbie, and is ready to raise money in London. Poor Xiaoqi looked for people and relationships everywhere for his business, and thought he was desperate, so he asked for a friend.

Lee Jae-hyun took a puff of cigarette, didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Sun, I think cooperation should be a win-win situation, what do you think?" ”

Sun Ziming was not hypocritical, and said bluntly: "Mr. Li, you can't say it completely, and you must be fair while win-win." I know you have connections to raise money from overseas, but the conditions are certainly more demanding than ours, and the amount cannot be larger than ours. IMHO, the economic collapse of your country, i.e., the exchange rate of the Korean won against the dollar today has reached 976:1, and it will fall further. If you cooperate with us, you must know how much you can benefit from it.

To be honest, if your company wasn't one of the shareholders of DreamWorks, I wouldn't have considered working with you at all. CJ Corporation is not the only company in Korea that is in a good financial position and wants to seize opportunities to grow rapidly. ”

These words were a little insincere, but they also made Lee Jae-hyun smile bitterly in his heart. If this person really takes friendship into account, he won't let his subordinates be so tough, but he even invited Debbie to Seoul. Or Debbie is right, although this guy has a yellow face, he is actually more practical than the white man, unless there is a friendship between the two.

A friend of a friend, but not a friend of oneself! What Debbie can do, I'm afraid, is to make the other party prioritize cooperating with her under the same conditions.

Hey, Lee Jae-hyun sighed, he did have the ability to raise money from overseas, but it couldn't satisfy his appetite at all. It is impossible for those financial institutions to lend beyond the norm, and their long history and huge scale determine that their procedures are very strict and conservative. Only a private bank like the Far Eastern Bank, with its abundant capital and adventurous spirit, can help it grab enough profits in this crisis.

But if they agree to their conditions, CJ, who is not as strong as others, is likely to become a vassal of the other party, which is also unacceptable to Lee Jae-hyun's father, Lee Mong-hee. Although Park Han has repeatedly claimed that they are not interested in CJ's control, in the mall, promises have never been to be trusted.

Lee Jae-hyun doesn't care very much, CJ will be controlled by the Far Eastern Group in the future. In his opinion, it may not be a bad thing to be able to integrate into the Far Eastern Group, because CJ can get the funds it needs most for development. When my grandfather founded CJ, it was just a small sugar factory, but it really grew after selling some of my shares to my grandfather and joining the Samsung Group. In just 30 years, a small sugar factory has become the largest food company in South Korea.

It is conceivable that if my grandfather did not have CJ's shares, the most he would have done was to take care of his friends and relatives, but it would have been impossible to use the resources of the Samsung Group to make CJ grow so fast and make the Sun family go from a small business owner to a member of Korean high society.

The dispute between Lee Jae-hyun's father and son, the grandson knew it well, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to work, so he came to himself to grind his teeth. Although he said that the other party was worried, he would not explain, who would say what happened in the future, not to mention that this guy has not yet engaged in CJ control.

After pondering for a while, Li Zaixian said: "Mr. Sun, can we do this, let's set up a network company first, and everyone will work together to complete the construction of a high-speed network?" As you know, now the Samsung Group is also interested in the network, and if we don't hurry up and complete the construction, with their strength, they will soon monopolize this industry. ”

Sun Ziming made an indifferent look and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I want to too, but you have to talk about this matter." There is a division of labor in our company, and I just have to make the final decision, and I will do the rest. ”

This is no problem, but the premise is the division of shares, if the two parties cannot compromise on the number of shares in the license, they can only stalemate there.

Lee Jae-hyun is in a hurry, Sun Ziming is not in a hurry, although Samsung Group also has this intention, but at present, the world's network equipment manufacturers are Cisco, and Ericsson is still a rookie who has just entered this field. Sun Ziming was not so kind, and told Lee Jae-hyun that his 'Angel (angel) investment fund is a major shareholder of Cisco, and even if Samsung wants to enter this industry, it will be resistant to equipment procurement negotiations.

Seeing Sun Ziming's calm appearance, Li Zaixian felt bitter in his heart, the other party had a choice, but he didn't have many choices. Looking at this situation, you can only compromise, otherwise the other party is likely to find another partner. His own people kept an eye on that Park Hanze, who negotiated with Zhijing during the day, and drank at night with people from medium-sized conglomerates such as the Eastern Group and the Daelim Group.

In the face of Lee Jae-hyun's distress, Sun Ziming remembered the scandal that broke out again in the Lee family more than ten years later, and couldn't help but disdain the blood of those wealthy families, and jokingly reminded: "Mr. Lee, I am a pretty good director, and I am very good at studying the orientation of photography. I'll learn from you too, it's very beneficial. ”

……

Coming out of the Hangang Film Company, even if there is sun, there is a hint of chill in late autumn in Seoul. Lee Jae-hyun listened to the radio in the car, and in less than an hour, the exchange rate of the Korean won against the dollar fell again, from 976:1 to 980:1. In three days, the won has depreciated by 18%, which makes Lee Jae-hyun distressed and excited at the same time - the door to wealth has opened!

Now that the army of foreign capital has entered South Korea, it is impossible for South Korea, which has strong national pride, to take the initiative to give up the fixed exchange rate like Taiwan, and it will definitely resist to the end! So what happens? The government's foreign exchange reserves of more than $80 billion will not be able to resist tens of thousands of floating funds and hot money, and sooner or later it will fail in the exchange rate and stock market. Those enterprises that rely on borrowing to expand production and industrial upgrading will collapse in the crisis!

Now the most urgent thing is how to get enough funds, as long as you have enough funds in your hands, you can choose fat and eat in this gluttonous feast of wealth.

It's a pity that he can't forcibly snatch CJ's control rights. South Korea is a country with strict hierarchies and respect for traditional ethics and morals, and even if a son fights with his father, even if he succeeds, he will be spurned and rejected by the entire business community. If we do get to that point, will CJ's future be bright? It's hard, what can you do even if you force it? Although the shares of the company are in the hands of my mother, and I promised to give them all to me at the right time, if my father does not agree, how can my mother help me?

The car quickly drove into Beiyue Mountain, and when he passed by the door of Li Jianxi's house, he accidentally saw that the surveillance camera at the door of his house was a little strange, Li Zaixian couldn't help but look at it twice, and then looked at his own house diagonally opposite, and then remembered Sun Ziming's reminder just now, and couldn't help but be ecstatic.
