Chapter 723: Closest Relatives (6)
"No, this gift of yours is too expensive for them to accept." Dad Zheng has finished reading the documents, although I don't know what the total value of the barbecue restaurant is, but just from the luxurious decoration of the main store, I know that it is worth a lot, not to mention that there are six branches distributed in the major prosperous districts of Seoul? The gift is too heavy, even if she is close to Zixi in her girlhood, as a parent, she doesn't dare to accept it.
"Yes! This gift is too valuable, how can they accept it? Father Kwon also excused himself.
"That's right, it's too precious, how can they accept it?" The parents also persuaded Zixi to take back the documents, after all, it was useless, and Zixi's so-called "gift" had reached the point where it was staggering. Many people may not be able to earn a piece of family property after struggling for a lifetime, but Zixi gave it out casually, which made them both worried and surprised.
Zixi took the paper. Put it back in Tiffany's hand and said, "Although it is a gift for them, it is only 5% of the shares of each person, and they cannot be bought and sold freely, and they can only get dividends at the end of the year." My uncles and aunts should have discovered the conscience of my evil capitalists and compensated them for their sweat and efforts. ”
"No, absolutely not." Father Zheng shook his head resolutely, the gift was too expensive, they deserved it, and there was no reason to accept it, and all parents also had a unified mentality.
"Uncles and aunts!" Zixi was not angry because of Zheng's father's determination, and patiently persuaded him: "It is impossible to be a singer for a lifetime, and it is the same to be an artist in any form, and I am also thinking about their future." Although you feel that this gift is too expensive, and you are worried that I have a strong request, you can rest assured. I asked myself that although my personality is not so noble, it is not so indiscriminate. I just hope that they can take advantage of this barbecue company and learn something that they can't learn in singing and acting. Moreover, these seven barbecue restaurants are also the compensation they deserve, they need to advertise and endorse the barbecue restaurants, and also act as image spokespersons to promote the seven barbecue restaurants. Dear uncles and aunts! You should take it as if this is my endorsement fee for them in advance. ”
Zixi's reasons are far-fetched, or simply untenable. But parents want their children to be well, and Zixi's sentence of "thinking about their future" is enough to impress them. Think about it, is it possible that when they get married and have children, they still have to come out to sing and release albums, and they have to catch up with their schedules day and night?
A kind of girl in the girl's generation was suppressed by Zixi's shot, and each of them had a birthday, every time Zixi came back from abroad, she would send them some local special souvenirs and valuable birthday gifts. For these, they never thought of refusing, and even often called Zixi to ask him to buy some small local gifts. In their opinion, this is Zixi's love for them, and this is an elder brother's spoiling of his sister, so no matter how many gifts they have, they can receive them with peace of mind.
But this time Zixi's generosity caught them off guard, it has been almost two years since their debut, and they can be regarded as having seen all forms of life in society, no matter how ignorant and ignorant they are, people who are in a state of confusion know the true value of these seven barbecue restaurants.
Don't look at the fact that each person only has 5% of the shares, and it can't be freely transferred, but if the barbecue restaurant is run properly, then the annual dividend is probably not a small amount, and it is even more than the income from recording two albums a year. So even if the parents don't object, they don't dare to accept it rashly.
"Don't say no." Zixi raised his hand to stop what they were about to say, and said, "I know that the gift is a bit heavy in your opinion, but don't forget, this gift is not for you. The contract clearly states that in the next five years, as a full-time spokesperson for the barbecue restaurant, you will not only shoot an endorsement advertisement for the barbecue restaurant every year, but also regularly come to the store to promote the activities held by each branch and the company. With the current popularity of Girls' Generation and the status of a girl group in the song industry, the company still earns it. The annual dividend is just a kind of compensation for you. ”
In fact, Zixi is not wrong to say that it is compensation, because the barbecue restaurant is simply one of the compensation he got from Jin Yingxiu, and the frightened women at that time, Zixi naturally will not explain it to them clearly, so it can only be carried out in this more obscure and far-fetched form, which also indirectly benefits the other women.
"But ......!" Taeyeon wanted to say something, but was blocked by Zihee once again with her hand raised.
"Actually, today's gifts are more than that." Zixi took out a thick envelope from his pocket this time and raised it, handed it to Taeyeon, who wanted to stop talking, and said with a smile: "This is the last gift that OPPA has given you today, and it is also carefully prepared for you, I hope you will like it." ”
“OPPA! The gift you have prepared for us today is already too important and so meaningful that we can no longer accept it. Taeyeon grabbed the envelope tightly and stuffed it back to Zixi, whimpering, "OPPA is too good and good for us, I'm afraid that all our blessings in the future will be used up at once." ”
Zi-hee smiled and patted Taeyeon's little head, handed the envelope back to Taeyeon, and said, "Little fool! What blessings are used up all at once, it will talk nonsense. You still open it and take a look, if you really don't like it, then OPPA can take it back, and I promise that it will not be forced. ”
What Zixi prepared for them today shocked them too much, nine families were invited back from the United States and from all over South Korea, how much energy and time did it take to prepare? When I was a girl, I knew how busy my family was with work, and even as a housewife, I couldn't contact them often. This time, Zixi invited everyone's parents and family members to Seoul at one time, and if Zixi was just talking about it, they wouldn't believe it.
Zixi gave gifts again and again, in addition to blessings to Tiffany's birthday, but also gave them 5% shares of the barbecue chain for no reason, they jumped from a small artist to a shareholder of a chain restaurant group company, this kind of before and after changes, they never expected, and never imagined.
Now Zi-hee took out a thick envelope again, and it seemed that the gift in his mouth seemed to be more important than the 5% shares, which made Taeyeon and her heart palpitate, and they really didn't dare to accept it anymore. Because they all believe that there is a limit to the blessings of a person's life, if they enjoy the blessings brought to them by Zixi without limit, they will one day be unbearable.
Taeyeon opens the envelope under the expectant gaze of all the members and the curious eyes of all the parents, and pulls out nine not-so-good, but beautifully printed bills from inside.
"Tickets?"
"Tickets? Is OPPA ready to let us go on vacation to the United States? The nine girls looked at the ticket in surprise, and then looked at Zixi who was looking at them with a smile and asked.
In the envelope, there were nine plane tickets for Seoul --- Los Angeles, and they were tickets registered in the names of the nine members of Girls' Generation. The parents also looked at Zixi curiously, they thought that the finale would be the last thing to come out, but the value of the nine tickets seemed to be far less than which shares, right?
"That's right, it's a ticket to Los Angeles, USA, and this time it's with OPPA." Zixi nodded, took out an envelope again, and said, "But it's not to send you on vacation, this time you're going to work." ”
Taeyeon and the others are really confused by Zixi, when do they have a job and need to go to the United States? Taeyeon opens the envelope and is immediately dumbfounded. Because it was a printed letter, but unfortunately it was all in English, and Taeyeon's English was still at the level of greeting and greetings, so she really didn't understand it, so she could only smile embarrassedly, and then casually glanced at Zixi and handed the letter to Tiffany beside her.
Tiffany looked very carefully, but the more she looked at it, the richer the expression on her face became, some surprised, some surprised, some disbelievable, and the last one raised her head and asked in an uncertain tone, "OPPA!" It's true? ”
"Of course, is OPPA going to play such a joke with you?"
"Is this true?" Tiffany pinched her arm vigorously to make sure she wasn't dreaming, let alone hallucinating.
"Yikes! Why are you pinching me? Tiffany pinched not herself, but Taeyeon next to her.
Tiffany wasn't embarrassed at all, she looked back at her teammates who were looking at her with strange expressions, and her lips trembled and said, "We're going to Hollywood to perform." ”
"What?" Taeyeon hasn't figured out the situation yet, and she's snorting at Tiffany's inexplicably pinched arm.
"What goes to Hollywood to perform? Pani makes it clear! Tiffany's abnormality made Yoori and Hyoyeon on the side upset, but unfortunately their English skills were not much better than Taeyeon's.
"I'll take a look." Jessica snatched the letter from Tiffany's hand, where the two of them grew up in the United States and had the highest level of English. However, when the members' eyes moved to Jessica, they found that when she read the letter, the expression on her face was exactly the same as that of Pani just now, just as wonderful.
"Really, we're going to Hollywood." After Jessica muttered, she was stunned and handed the letter to the other members, she understood why Pani would behave so strangely, because the letter was an invitation from Fox Broadcasting, the organizer of the "American Teen Choice Awards", inviting the Korean girl group Girls' Generation to be one of the performers of the "American Teen Choice Awards".
In fact, with the popularity and fame of Girls' Generation, Fox Broadcasting and the "American Teen Choice Awards" will not pay attention to them at all, let alone invite them to be the guest performers of the awards ceremony. All of this is still due to Zixi's request, so that Girls' Generation will not be reduced to dispensable supporting roles, so that they can justifiably appear on the performance stage of the awards ceremony.
"That's right, you're going to come with me to Los Angeles for the Teen Choice Awards of America this time, and you're going to perform with me on stage as a guest performer, and this is the invitation that Fox Broadcasting has sent to you." Zixi paused, looked at the wonderful expression changes on the faces of the nine girls, and chuckled: "Haven't you always been very strange, why do I keep asking you to accompany me to practice MJ's dance music and dance steps?" This time on stage, we will recreate MJ's classics on stage together. ”
"Really?" Until now, even if Zixi has made it clear, even if the invitation from Fox Broadcasting is in their hands, they still can't believe that all this is real. This news is far more shocking to them than Zixi just gave them 5% of the shares each person gave them. 5% of the shares can only be estimated in their hearts, but on the Hollywood performance stage, they can enter the eyes of European and American audiences, and enter a higher level of performing arts.
This is the performance stage of the Hollywood awards ceremony, and it is a stage that countless artists dream of, look forward to infinitely, but stop moving, even WonderGirls, who has gone to the United States to develop, does not have this opportunity. The girls all know very well that this opportunity was won back by Zixi for them, otherwise with the newcomers who have only debuted in South Korea for two years, let alone the Hollywood stage, it is a question whether anyone knows them in Europe and the United States.
