Chapter Seventy-Three: Prince Daewoo
Although it is not clear what the well-dressed young man came from, judging from the reactions of the other people in the bar, this young man is not only a frequent customer here, but also has a deep background, otherwise no one would have come to persuade him for a long time.
Park Do-woo is really a character, and he didn't know what to do when he got into the yellow soup, so he ran over with a big grin, pulled up the bias without asking, and slapped the young man heavily by the way.
At this time, not only Zhong Shi, but everyone else in the bar was stunned, especially the young man and the middle-aged man who had been slapped wildly before. The young man was surprised that someone dared to slap him here, while the middle-aged man was shocked that someone dared to come over to relieve the siege, and both sides didn't react to what was going on for a while, and they were stunned on the spot.
Only Park Do-woo, who was already drunk and didn't know the height of the sky, still looked indignant, pointed at the young man's nose and scolded: "Xiba, you shameless bastard, didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders?" I'll ...... Shiba."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves again, ready to give the young man another slap. At this time, the middle-aged man had already reacted, hurriedly hugged a bear, trapped Park Do-woo from behind, and desperately pulled him back, shouting while pulling: "Calm down, this friend, we are ......" and then his voice was lowered.
I have to say that Korean society pays great attention to seniority and seniority, and the younger generation should be extremely respectful to the elders, and they should use honorifics when speaking, even if they are one year older, they cannot be sloppy in the slightest. Even if they are the same age, the date of birth should be differentiated. And the younger generation must obey the orders of the elders unconditionally.
Sometimes this hierarchical view is not only reflected in age, but also in position, status, and length of entry. Generally speaking, the words of those who are a little older and in a higher position are like divine decrees, which need to be followed unconditionally by subordinates.
Something similar happened to the K-pop groups that swept Asia in later generations. One of the first members to enter the group is designated as the captain and can scold and insult the other juniors at will, while the other "younger brothers" (juniors) can only go against the grain and let these elders tease and tease, which eventually leads to a very popular Chinese person quitting the group.
Although Park Do-woo's performance has been decent along the way, there is nothing outstanding about it. But overall it's courteous and polite. But half a bottle of spirits went down. He was already in a state of confusion. When he saw that there were people here who did not follow the rules of dignity and inferiority, Park Do-woo was immediately furious, and he forcibly came out without asking the reason.
While several people were tugging and pulling, Zhong Shi pondered whether to get involved in this dispute. After all, this is not his territory. And it seems to be a dispute between Goryeo sticks. In his heart, he naturally hoped that these people would make as much trouble as crazy as possible.
But after all, Park Do-woo is still his own translator, if he just watches him being scolded or slapped in public. Zhong Shi felt a little unbearable, after all, he was still relatively protective in his bones, although Park Do-woo had only known each other for a few days.
Just when Zhong Shi's face was cloudy, a researcher came over and whispered something in his ear, Zhong Shi's eyes lit up, and then he asked in disbelief, "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure!" The researcher nodded heavily, "I once had a mutual learning experience with this guy, and of course I recognize it very well. Later, he went to Goldman Sachs, and within a few years, he joined a hedge fund, and I heard that it was the one that was very famous. ”
Zhong Shi nodded slightly, and there was a calculation in his heart.
Park Do-woo here pulled the middle-aged man over and said a few words, and suddenly felt that a bucket of cold water was poured from head to tail, the strength of the wine all over his body disappeared without a trace, and bursts of cold sweat couldn't stop coming out of his forehead.
"What? Is he Kim Seon-hye? ”
Because of extreme fear, Park Do-woo even shivered, and his legs were like weak noodles, and he couldn't even stand on his feet with trembling.
Who is Kim Seon-hye? He is the successor of the famous Daewoo Foundation, and since the tragic death of his elder brother Kim Sun-jae in a car accident, the second in line of succession of the Kim family has become the first in line to succeed in this huge consortium.
The Daewoo Consortium was the most famous consortium in Korea at this time, and it was far superior to the famous Korean conglomerates such as Samsung, Hyundai, and CJ in terms of scale and influence. Founder and CEO Kim Woo-jung is Korea's most famous entrepreneur, who founded Daewoo Enterprises in 1967 and has since grown a humble textile factory into a conglomerate spanning trade, construction, shipbuilding, automobiles, robotics, telecommunications, and home appliances for more than three decades.
At this time, the Daewoo Consortium had annual sales of $25 billion, more than 250 overseas offices, more than 260,000 employees, more than 40 various companies, and total assets of more than $30 billion, surpassing Hyundai Group to become the largest consortium in Korea.
In a country with a population of only 20 to 30 million, the Daewoo Foundation directly feeds 1% of the total population, not to mention other spin-off industries and small and medium-sized enterprises that live in the group's business as a whole.
How could such a behemoth be something that a small person like Park Do-woo could afford to provoke? And now he actually beat the future successor of the Daewoo Foundation, the current crown prince, in front of everyone, this fact almost made Park Do-woo faint on the spot.
Looking at Kim Sun-hye, who had a gloomy face, Park Do-woo mustered up his courage, moved his steps with difficulty, walked in front of Kim Sun-hye, bent down and bowed at 90 degrees, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Chairman Kim, I'm really sorry, I don't know if you're here, I ......."
For people like Kim Sun-hye, the set of ordinary people is obviously not suitable for him, which is why he dared to slap his elders in public.
Park Do-woo's apology obviously did not get the prince's understanding, only to see Kim Sun-hyeup smile and say, "It's really amazing." I don't know how many years I've been doing it, but no one has dared to slap me like this except for Chairman Kim and Chairman Zheng, and it's really good that you, an unknown junior, dare to do this. ”
At this time, Kim Seon-hya had begun to gradually take over, and the areas of management were golf courses and hotels. I have to say that the chairman of the South Korean Hilton Hotel is Zheng Xizi, a top student who graduated from Harvard University, and this legendary woman also has another identity, that is, the spouse of Kim Woo-jung, the founder of Daewoo. That is, the mother of Kim Sun-hye, who is full of hideous faces.
In other words. The hotel where Zhong Shi stayed had shares in the Daewoo Foundation, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was their private property. In his own hotel, he was slapped in front of the public, saying what is the face of Kim Sun-hye?
Park Do-woo secretly complained in his heart. But he didn't dare to show half a point on his face. He knew that most of this matter could not be good. Ichihan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm really sorry, and I ask Chairman Kim to teach me a lot." After saying that, he closed his eyes and put his whole face up. I hope to get Kim Sun-hye's slap a few times on the spot to eliminate the evil spirit in his heart.
I have to say that although this is a bit inferior, it is already the best way to save it, who let Park Do-woo jump out indiscriminately and act as a good person.
But Kim Sun-hyeup obviously didn't think so, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, obviously indifferent to Park Do-woo's actions at all, just sneering vigorously.
After waiting for a long time, the expected slap did not fall on his face, Park Do-woo secretly opened a slit and found that Kim Sun-hyeup was staring at him with disdain on his face, and his eyes were full of coldness. He immediately understood that his actions were not forgiven by the crown prince, and after weighing it in his heart for a moment, Park Do-woo "poofed", knelt in front of Kim Sun-hyeup in a daze, and shouted loudly: "Chairman Kim, this matter is my recklessness, please forgive me." After saying that, no matter what Kim Sun-hye's reaction was, he rounded his arms and began to slap himself one after another.
For East Asian culture, kneeling is an extremely serious thing, and there is a saying in China since ancient times that "kneel to heaven and earth, kneel to parents", while in South Korea and Japan, this kneeling behavior is even more serious, and many times it is only used when you feel that your sin is extremely evil and you need to apologize deeply.
Park Do-woo knows very well that if he can't get Kim Sun-hye's forgiveness on the spot, as long as the prince gives a little signal in the future, he and his family will most likely have no way to live. This is not alarmist, you must know that in order to please this prince, many people will be willing to do this kind of thing.
slapped himself more than a dozen times in a row, but Kim Sun-hyup didn't stop, Park Do-woo secretly complained in his heart, and he could only continue to abuse himself. Both of his cheeks were swollen, and he looked like a monster with a pig's head, which made people feel both surprised and amused.
Since these people communicate with each other in Korean, some guests who can understand Korean naturally avoid it, and the rest of the people either don't know Korean or don't take this kind of thing to heart. When they came back to their heads, they found that the one who had "acted bravely" had already knelt on the ground and slapped himself wildly, which made them stunned, and they didn't know what was going on for a while.
"Enough!"
Just when Park Do-woo was about to fall into a coma, a voice suddenly sounded, it was Jong-seok.
Originally, Zhong Shi planned to wait and see for a while, but the sudden change made him a little confused, so he could only take a look first. Obviously, the change of Park Do-woo shows that the other party must be a person with background and power. But seeing that Park Do-woo beat himself with blood, and almost broke his skin, and the young man was still indifferent, which made Zhong Shi a little annoyed. As the so-called killing is not too much, this young man is so tricky of Park Do-woo, even if he is an ordinary person, he has already exceeded Zhong Shi's psychological bottom line.
"Who are you? Do you know who this gentleman is? He's the head of the Daewoo Foundation's Kim Shan Association! Just after Zhong Shi and a group of researchers behind him walked up unhurriedly, the middle-aged man who had been slapped by Kim Sun-hyeup earlier shouted a little inwardly, obviously the group of people who came over gave him a lot of pressure.
Because Zhong Shi speaks English, he speaks English as well. The researchers naturally heard clearly, glanced at each other, and then looked at Zhongshi in unison.
After Zhong Shi heard it, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart suddenly brightened, it was originally like this. (To be continued......)
