Chapter 941: Case Progress; "Thor" will be screened
Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, you don't blame me for offending "Daily Economy". ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Doing business will definitely offend people, what's so weird?" However, since we have already offended, we must find a way to deal with the possible counterattack of "Daily Economy", especially since it is a newspaper, and it will definitely be very troublesome if we retaliate against our company, so we will find a way to buy it out as well. ”
Lin Zhixiu said with some doubts: "But in this case, it will definitely offend the consortium behind it." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It won't be a big consortium like Samsung and Hyundai behind it, right?" If not, don't bother with it, anyway, the acquisition of Korea Economic Television has already offended them, and for entertainment agencies like us, the threat of newspapers is much higher than that of ordinary consortia, because we are not short of funds, and we are not afraid that they will buy us, but we are afraid of public opinion rumors, and as for political factors, with my special means, there is no need to be afraid. ”
In fact, if Zhang Chengyuan is unscrupulous and has no lower limit, he will not take it to heart even if it is the Samsung Group or the president of South Korea, let alone the general consortium, but he doesn't want to do this, so he will have scruples about them. But it's just a scruple, if his company is mortally threatened, he won't talk about ethics.
Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, although the consortium behind "Daily Economy" is not a giant like Samsung and Hyundai, it should not be underestimated, since the boss you plan to buy this newspaper, then you should prepare more funds." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Is the $1.5 billion emergency fund we have been preparing not enough? ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "I'm afraid it's not enough, boss, let's prepare more." "$1.5 billion is enough under normal circumstances to buy The Daily Economy. But in case of sniping. In addition, he has to resist other people's attacks on the holding companies under Zhang Chengyuan's name. After all, there are not only one or two large companies that have offended JSW when it has expanded over the years, and they may be waiting for an opportunity to bite JSW.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I know, so before that, let's suspend the acquisition of "Daily Economy", first secretly absorb some shares in small amounts, and then make big moves when the funds are sufficient." ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "I wrote it down, boss." Well. Next, I would like to tell you about the situation of Zhang Ziyan's case. ”
"Well, let's go, I'd like to hear about it, but I don't need to go into too much detail."
Lin Zhixiu nodded and said: "Since your doppelganger used tactics at the end of last month to make the president of an entertainment company on Zhang Ziyan's 'benefactor' list open his mouth to admit the crime and involve three other benefactors, the public opinion circle has been even more in an uproar, and the review that had basically ended because it was confirmed that Zhang Ziyan's letter was forged had to be opened again, and soon after that, a lot of 'ironclad evidence' surfaced, and I think it was your doppelganger's handiwork, and now." There have been more than a dozen big names who have had that kind of relationship with Zhang Ziyan and are gradually surfacing and being investigated, or 'voluntarily' being investigated. Maybe a little longer. That's the end of it. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It would be good to end it sooner, but no one doubts us, right?" ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "There shouldn't be, because except for your doppelganger's actions, our company and the media we have friends with have done nothing, but they just echoed a few words and expressed their position." Although Zhang Chengyuan had previously asked the company not to participate in this matter, it was not good if he didn't say anything at all, but it made people even more suspicious, so Lin Zhixiu let people follow the trend a little.
And Zhang Chengyuan naturally knows this truth, so he didn't blame Lin Zhixiu at this time.
Lin Zhixiu continued: "It's just a pity, I could have taken the opportunity to eat a large number of shares of these people's companies at a low price, and then sold them after they rose again to make a profit, but in order to avoid suspicion, I couldn't act in time, so I could only follow others and pick up a little cheap." ”
Most of these people related to Zhang Ziyan's case are the top executives and even leaders of their companies, so as soon as something happens, the reputation of the related companies will be greatly affected, and the stock price will fall sharply, but as long as this limelight is passed, or it is acquired by a larger company, then the stock price may not be able to recover or even rise sharply, so at this time, you may be able to make a profit by eating relevant stocks. It's just that there are many people who want to take advantage, and because Lin Zhixiu deliberately entered the market late, the advantage is naturally not big. Of course, there may be risks associated with doing so, and it may result in a big loss.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It doesn't matter if you take advantage of this bit of cheapness or not, as long as it doesn't involve our company, which will cause all kinds of trouble." In addition, the investigation and interrogation of Zhang Ziyan's case is estimated to last for several months, or even longer, if nothing happens, there is no need to sue me, I am not interested in it anymore, and when the final result is out, you can inform me. ”
Lin Zhixiu nodded to indicate that he understood, and then suddenly thanked: "Boss, thank you for doing so much for me." The reason why Zhang Chengyuan interfered in Zhang Ziyan's matter was almost entirely because of her, and she was naturally very grateful.
Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said, "What's so thankful for this, I'm your man, shouldn't I do something for you?" Besides, you have done much more and more for me over the years, and if you want to say thank you, it should be me to you. However, I don't think it's necessary to say that between us, so in the future, I don't want to hear you say thank you to me again. ”
Lin Zhixiu nodded again and said, "I wrote it down." Well, boss, on the 28th of this month, the Hollywood movie "Thor Thor" you starred in will be released in South Korea, and the producers hope that you can come forward to help promote it, and on May 2nd, the film will premiere in Los Angeles, and the producers also hope that you can attend. "The film won't be released in North America until May 6.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Yesterday, I shirked my busy work and didn't attend the world premiere of "Thor" in Sydney, so the producers must be a little unhappy, right? ”
"I guess so." Lin Zhixiu smiled faintly.
"Well, let's do the next for me, so as not to offend them too much, and this kind of thing can also be said to be my obligation, if it weren't for the fact that I've been too busy lately, and the premiere in Sydney is not very important, and it takes more than a day to go back and forth, I wouldn't have shirked it."
There is another reason: he is not well-known in Australia, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not, and it will not have any effect on the box office, which means that even if he goes, it will be redundant. So after thinking about it comprehensively, he finally resigned, and although the producer was a little unhappy, he didn't care too much.
However, he can't help but go to the premiere in Los Angeles, firstly, he also has a lot of fans in Europe and the United States, especially those of Asian descent, and secondly, he also needs to expand his fame in Hollywood, and he needs to show his face in order to make people think of him or remember him, and he also wants to make some friends in the circle, so it may help his acting career in Hollywood in the future.
After a pause, Zhang Chengyuan said again: "How to arrange the promotional activities of "Thor" in South Korea, and how many activities do I need to attend?" ”
Lin Jixiu said: "The promotion scale of "Thor" in South Korea is not large, and the boss only needs to attend a press conference and a fan meeting. ”
"Fan meeting? Is there any actor in "Thor" who is going to come to South Korea? ”
Lim Ji-so said: "No, it's just that you are asked to hold a fan meeting in your personal name and call on fans to watch your movie, I think the producer should know that you have a high box office appeal in South Korea, so they will ask you to do this." ”
Zhang Chengyuan sighed and said: "I really don't like the fan meeting, but since it's the producer's request, it's not good not to agree, so let's just mean it." Well, Jisoo, you can help me tell the producers to try to make this fan meeting organized by our company, I don't want the host to ask me to do some kind of foolish move to please the fans and make me unable to get off the stage. With his temperament, he naturally won't use funny ways to please fans, but if someone else prepares for this fan meeting, he may not be asked to do so, after all, this is a very common way.
Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, don't worry, I will fight for this matter." ”
This is not difficult, because the producers of "Thor" do not have any close cooperation partners in South Korea, and Jang Sung-won is also a powerful figure in South Korea, so holding a fan meeting is such a small thing, whether it is the producer or the Korean theater chain that cooperates with "Thor", Jang Sung-won will be sold a face.
After saying this, seeing that the time was almost 5:40, Lin Zhixiu temporarily said goodbye to Zhang Chengyuan and went to Zhang Chengyuan's big kitchen to make breakfast, since moving to Zhang's Villa, Lin Zhixiu has been in charge of the breakfast of everyone in the villa, after all, Cheng Youli was already pregnant at that time, and she needed more rest and couldn't get up early to make breakfast, so Lin Zhixiu, who was superb in the kitchen, made a nutritious breakfast for her, and by the way, she also made breakfast for everyone.
Of course, she is not the only one who does it, Yuzhu Hyun and Li Zhen will often help as long as they have time, as for Lee Hyori, because he has always been relatively late, he rarely helps, and Lee Ji-eun, Lin Ji-so is reluctant to let her do it at all, if she gets up early, she will also be sent by Lin Zhixiu to play, or accompany Cheng Youli to talk to relieve boredom, if Cheng Youli gets up early.
In addition, because Lin Zhixiu has this big housekeeper to take care of housework, and most of the women can solve their own affairs, and Zhang Chengyuan often asks his doppelganger to help deal with some things, such as cleaning the courtyard, repairing pipes, planting flowers and plants, etc., so although the whole villa is very large, it does not need to hire any housekeepers and servants, but it is just a little deserted.
But everyone likes this quiet and undisturbed life from outsiders, so they are happy and happy, of course, if Zhang Chengyuan can come back often, they will be even happier. (To be continued......)
