Chapter 820: Discuss Something
Entering Lin Zhixiu's room and seeing that she had fallen asleep, Zhang Chengyuan got on the bed and shook her awake, and then the two took off their clothes and started their work. After having some fun, he put his arm around her and asked, "Jisoo, tomorrow, well, it should be today, today is autumn evening, what are your plans?" Or who are you going to spend with today? ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "Xuanying has asked me to come to her house for dinner tonight." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Xuanying this girl almost invites you to her home every year on Chinese New Year's Eve and Autumn Festival, which can be regarded as a heart, well, this girl is good, you really haven't hurt in vain for so many years." ”
Lin Zhixiu responded with a smile: "Xuanying is indeed very good. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "By the way, has Zhien's girl invited you in the past few years?" ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "You also know the previous situation of her family, how can you invite me?" However, in the past two years, the situation of her family has been getting better and better, and I think that in the near future, she will invite me to her house for the New Year and stay with me. ”
Zhang Chengyuan sighed slightly: "Although you no longer have blood relatives, being able to have Xuanying and Zhien, two sisters who are no different from your own sister, can be regarded as God's compensation for you." ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "Thanks to the boss, you arranged for them to live with me and let me take care of them, otherwise I wouldn't have two more good sisters." ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled slightly and joked: "I regret letting you take care of them, making them think of you a lot more than me." Of course, it's also because you treat them a lot more than I do. ”
Lin Zhixiu smiled and didn't answer, but he was a little complacent in his heart. She is no more capable of communicating with people than Zhang Chengyuan. Therefore, Park Xuanying and Lee Ji-eun can like her even more. It's not easy. It is also enough to be proud of her.
Zhang Chengyuan changed the topic and said: "Zhixiu, you should know from Sister Youli that I am going to marry her, so I will ask you for more help in preparing for the wedding, I am afraid that Sister Youli and they will not be able to cope with it." ”
Some things can only be made by Youli, Lee Hyo-ri and others, and the specific process needs to be done by Lin Ji-so's subordinates or another professional. For example, the design and construction of houses, the purchase of furniture that Jang Sung-won likes from overseas, the famous wine to be used in weddings, high-end ingredients, and so on.
Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, don't worry, I will try my best to assist Sister Youli." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "If you are too busy, other things that are not too important, you can slow down first, but don't tire your body." ”
"Well, I understand. However, with the help of your doppelganger in recent times, my job has become a little easier. So don't worry about me. ”
"It's good to be relaxed. Hmm, has construction started on my newlywed home? Zhang Chengyuan asked again.
Lin Zhixiu said: "Construction has started. However, due to the large amount of work and some complexity, it may not be completed until early next year. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It doesn't matter if it's a little later, anyway, the wedding won't be held until early next year at the earliest, so it's definitely in time, the key is to ensure the quality, I hope it will be a house that is both exquisite and beautiful, strong and sturdy, after all, we will live in the house for decades in the future, and even pass it on to our descendants." ”
Lim Ji-so agreed: "Maybe we really have to pass it on to future generations, with the current development trend, it is becoming more and more difficult to have an independent house in Seoul, and I don't know if it will not be allowed to build such a big house in a few decades." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I hope that our children and grandchildren can be more competitive, and don't lose the family property we have earned now like some rich second and third generations." Well, it's far away, Jisoo, how are the preparations for the horse race? ”
Lim Ji-so said: "It's almost right, the location is in Gwacheon Seoul Horse Racing Park, and the time is October 2 and October 3, which are Saturdays and Sundays, so it is convenient for people to come and watch." ”
"Where's the number of games?"
Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, you and Sister Taixi will participate in two races, one is the preliminary race, which is on October 2, and the other is the final, on October 3, and there is only one type of competition, which is a 5000-meter speed horse race." However, before the start of each day's race, there will be a dressage show by Sister Tai Xi and a show by your horse jumping over the obstacle course, on the 2nd and 3rd respectively. She didn't say what would happen if she couldn't pass the preliminary round, because she believed that Jang Sung-won and Kim Tae-hee would definitely be able to pass the preliminary round.
Zhang Chengyuan asked again: "How many games do other players have to compete?" ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "Due to the limited time and the large number of contestants, there are only two competitions: the preliminary round and the final, of course, you have to go through the guò preliminary round to enter the final." However, before that, they have to go through a number of qualifying matches, and those who can play on October 2 are the best of them. ”
Since the winner will receive a prize of 2 billion won, and there is no limit to professional riders, the number of applicants is very large, so some of them have to be eliminated in advance, and a series of knockout tournaments are already underway.
Subsequently, after casually asking about some information related to horse racing, Zhang Chengyuan changed the topic and said, "Jisoo, how is the investigation of Lin Shuyan and the Elephant Group?" ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, the Lin Shuyan who had the scandal with you is indeed the third daughter of Lin Changyu, the chairman of the Elephant Group, who dropped out of Harvard in the first half of this year and returned to South Korea. ”
Zhang Chengyuan recalled: "Well, she seemed to tell me last time that she was writing a film and television script, and she may mail it to our company after she finishes writing, Jisoo, you let people pay attention to it, and if it is sent in the future, show it to me." ”
"Well, I made a note of it." Lin Zhixiu casually agreed, and then continued: "As for the Elephant Group, according to the investigation, it is indeed in trouble at present, it is the 'shortage of funds' that you expected before, boss, and you are now looking for a bank loan, so it can be inferred that Lin Shuyan is very likely to approach the boss for this matter." It's just strange that she hasn't contacted you again? ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Maybe she is playing a trick to get away with it, maybe we guessed wrong." She didn't really have any other intentions. But. We do something beforehand, and there's nothing wrong with that. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "In addition, I also heard that Lin Changyu, the chairman of the Elephant Group, is not in good health, and intends to retire in the next few years, distribute the company's shares to his three daughters, and hand over the management rights, but due to the need to pay high inheritance tax or gift tax, it is not possible to do so for the time being." In other words, if Lin Changyu dies unexpectedly and his three daughters cannot pay the inheritance tax, then they may have to sell part of their shares to meet the emergency, but this may affect the Lin family's control over the Elephant Group. ”
In order to limit the expansion of the chaebol, South Korea's inheritance tax and gift tax are not low, so it will be relatively difficult for the next generation of chaebols to run the family business, and if they are not careful, they may lose power.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "In general, they are in a lot of trouble now, and they are very short of money?" ”
"Hmm. That's right, though. If Lin Changyu's health can improve, then there will be no problems for the time being, at least they can maintain the current situation, and Lin Changyu's condition is quite stable at present. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "So, even if Lin Shuyan or the Lin family want to get assistance from me, there is no need to be too anxious?" ”
"Perhaps."
"In that case, we don't need to pay too much attention to them, and we won't talk about this until they want to approach us again. Moreover, maybe the Elephant Group can solve its own problems, so it won't come to us for help. As for us, there seems to be no reason to have anything to do with them, and we don't want to profit from them anyway, and we don't seem to get any benefit. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, in fact, it's not impossible to make a profit, if you can cooperate with them, you may be able to speed up the development of some companies under your name, especially restaurants, hotels, and supermarkets." Of course, even if we don't work with them, it's not a big deal, we have other people to work with. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said with some doubts: "When did we enter the two industries of hotels and supermarkets." ”
Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "I just acquired a few hotels and supermarkets. Well, not all the money you make in the financial market is reinvested in the market, there is a lot left, and I will invest it. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said casually: "Well, you can do it, but you must know how to stop in moderation, don't spread the scene too big, and when you think it's about the same, you can integrate it all to facilitate management." And then you may be the president of a small conglomerate. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "Then boss, you are the veritable president of the group company, and you don't need to feel that others call you the president, which is very boring." ”
Zhang Chengyuan didn't like others to call him chairman before, after all, the title of "president" of a small company is really no glory at all, and with more and more assets under his name, he can barely accept this title, but usually only allows people under his company to call him that, and when he gets along with other people, he is still the same. As for the future, if he really becomes the chairman of a group company, then maybe he will gradually get used to being called "chairman" by others, right? After all, in South Korea, addressing someone else's position is an honorific title.
Zhang Chengyuan said casually: "Whether others respect me or not, I don't really mind, as long as you don't respect me." Of course, if they want to call me 'President Zhang,' I don't object to that. Well, Jisoo, there's something I have to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"I just asked my doppelganger Xiao Won to buy C-JeS Entertainment, where the JYJ group is located, and I also persuaded Kim Jae-jung, Park Youtian, and Kim Jun-so to re-sign with our company, you can follow up on this matter."
Lin Zhixiu was taken aback and asked, "Didn't we give up on this before?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I have re-checked, C-JeS Entertainment Company does not have an underworld background, so there is no need to worry about anything." ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "But the people may not know this, and now there is a lot of discussion about this matter, if the news of this acquisition spreads, it may affect the reputation of our company." ”
Five days ago, Japan's Ai Hui Company suddenly announced that JYJ's music activities in Japan would be suspended indefinitely, that is, they were completely banned from their music path in Japan, citing that Baek Chang-so of C-JeS Entertainment had an underworld background. This hit the music path that the JYJ trio had just restarted, and Jang Sung-won also took the opportunity to buy the company at a lower price. (To be continued......)
