Chapter 333 Family Meeting of Both Parties
“How about 770 million?”
After hearing this, Kim Jong Kook pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Although for ordinary families, 770 million is still an outrageously high gift.
But for high-income groups like them.
Actually, it’s not bad.
For example, domestic entertainment gifts include luxury cars, mansions, and even company shares for weddings.
The amount of the gift is determined.
Jin Qixuan also planned to keep the eight items as a betrothal gift.
After all, they all have special meanings.
A serious betrothal gift.
Jin Qixuan is going to give Li Zhien jewelry, luxury bags, and various brand-name clothes and shoes.
It can also be considered as a change to her plaid shirt wardrobe, adding some feminine elements...
The entire set of betrothal gifts cost a total of about 2 billion won.
It was all paid for by Jin Qixuan himself.
This expense is nothing for domestic entertainment.
But in Korean entertainment, where the average wedding cost is only 100 to 200 million won.
This is already considered the ceiling.
In the public wedding of Peninsula artists.
The most expensive expense was only Jun Ji-hyun’s more than 2 billion.
No one has surpassed it so far.
Of course, it is unknown what her husband gave her in private.
At least Jin Qixuan's cost of betrothal gift alone was equal to that of Jin Qixuan's.
Not to mention the subsequent wedding.
Jin Zhongguo was also quite emotional when he looked at Jin Qixuan's dense list of gifts.
However, emotion is emotion.
He didn’t let Jin Qixuan pay for everything.
With a wave of his hand, he spent 500 million on behalf of Lao Jin's family.
A 911 and a Cayenne were given as a substitute for the big horse given by men in ancient times as betrothal gifts.
All betrothal gifts added up.
Although there is still a long way to go from "Ten Miles of Red Makeup".
However, it can be regarded as beautiful and extremely luxurious.
When Lao Jin’s family was preparing the betrothal gift.
The matchmaker also came back from Jeju Island and took Li Zhien's horoscope and Jin Qixuan's horoscope for "Naji".
That is, the divination of marriage.
This side of the peninsula is still very enthusiastic about fortune telling.
It is not an exaggeration at all to say that fortune tellers control the lifeblood of the peninsula.
During the Joseon Dynasty, such people were classified as one of the "Eight Means".
Until the 1990s.
There is a folk fortune teller named Shen who succeeded in predicting that Kim Dae-jung was elected president.
A moment.
This "divine wind" is very popular on the peninsula.
The status of the industry has skyrocketed.
In order to get the "divine voice" of this goddess, politicians have to line up no matter how big the name is.
Every election year, her "predictions" can even influence the decisions of some politicians.
So much so that the next president will basically be surrounded by such a person.
Except politicians.
Celebrities and businessmen who value fame, fortune and practicality are also very keen on fortune telling.
When do idols debut, when do they release albums, when do they go solo.
It all depends on the fortune teller’s order.
Even the godfather of k-pop, Manmanzi, has to be obedient.
This is true for the upper class, not to mention the common people.
70% of Peninsular people have their fortunes told at least once a year.
Should you change jobs if your job is not going well?
Should I break up with my girlfriend because she is a cuckold?
After years of infertility, when will I have a child, etc., all have to be calculated...
According to "The Economist" statistics.
The peninsula’s divination industry (including fortune telling/feng shui/tarot, etc.) has a GPD of 4 trillion won in 18 years.
What is the concept of GPD of 4 trillion won?
Just compare the film industry that the Peninsula is proud of.
The total box office revenue in 2018 was only 1.75 trillion yuan.
Only two-fifths of the 18-year GPD of the fortune-telling industry.
Among the peninsula’s population of more than 50 million, there are about 300,000 fortune tellers.
What is the concept of more than 300,000 fortune tellers?
The Marine Corps, the "most powerful" combat force on the peninsula, only has a strength of 30,000...
Today, the fortune-telling industry in the peninsula has developed into an O2O model.
And it's beginning to take shape.
But get down to its essence.
Behind the superstition is the peninsula’s deep unease.
Resorting to divination because of feeling uneasy.
Human beings have actually not changed much from ancient times to the present, and this is true in any country.
The peninsula is a small island country surrounded almost entirely by big countries.
This sense of weakness and powerlessness written by geopolitics is particularly strong.
Therefore, fortune telling has become a dependent choice.
In fact, the reason why these fortune tellers can create such high GPD.
More importantly, it’s better to watch the dishes.
Use your own experience and speculation plus a little bit of deception to give the answer the other party wants.
A special industrial chain has even been formed.
For example, when a girl comes to see her face, the fortune teller will tell her that a mole somewhere will affect her luck, and it is recommended to remove it.
Then, there will be people from the beauty shop waiting nearby to take you to spot the mole.
After you have your mole tattooed, you will also be told that you have been in bad luck recently and it is recommended to buy a string of luck beads.
Next, the person selling the luck beads appeared.
In short, one link after another.
The purpose is to drain your wallet.
The fortune teller that the matchmaker took Lao Jin's family to find was quite famous in the peninsula.
On the peninsula, where fortune-telling stalls can be found everywhere, reservations are required.
It is enough to show how famous he is.
"Congratulations, congratulations, the two of you are a match made in heaven, a first-class marriage!"
"The male's Qian palace is made of gold, and the female's Kun palace is water. Metal and water are in harmony with each other and help each other. It is a typical prosperous person. The husband is prosperous and his wife is destined to be prosperous. "
"The man's Gen palace is the earth element, and the woman's Li palace is the fire element. The fire and earth elements are in harmony, which means that the relationship between the two will be prosperous and prosperous, and they will have a rich material foundation. .”
"The Sunda Palace of both parties also shows the sign of wood. The wood owner grows and prospers, which indicates that the two people will have a prosperous life after marriage and have a good career and family."
"The children of the two will also inherit this excellence in the future. The fate of the woman is bound to bring good fortune and wealth, and the family will be prosperous. "
"However, the woman's palace is somewhat turbulent, and her health and mood will fluctuate significantly this year."
Great mood swings?
What Jin Qixuan subconsciously thought about was that the official announcement would be opposed by the entire network in the future.
So, he frowned slightly and quickly asked:
"Master, is it because of our official announcement of our relationship in the future?"
"No, the turmoil in the palace has little to do with the relationship. In the future, the woman may encounter difficulties that are difficult to accept. things, which lead to greater emotional fluctuations and thus affect the physical state.”
“Oh?”
Jin Qixuan was stunned for a moment, then asked:
"Then, master, how should we deal with it? Is there any way to solve it?"
The fortune teller nodded slightly and gave him a meaningful look. , said:
"This is a heavenly secret and should not be revealed lightly. The turmoil in Kan Palace is a destined disaster. However, everything has its destiny and there are variables."
Jin Qixuan didn't understand, but Jin Zhongguo did.
Hurry up and give the money you have prepared.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is mainly for good luck.
As a result, they didn’t answer the call.
Although Jin Qixuan still had some doubts about this.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, Li Zhien has been doing good deeds since he was able.
Whether she is donating to charities or participating in various public welfare activities, she does her best.
Such a good person has her own destiny.
There shouldn’t be any obstacles that can’t be overcome.
As for the field of work.
Li Zhien's talent and strength are obvious to all.
No matter what difficulties she encounters, she has the ability to face and solve them.
In general, according to the horoscope.
The two are a match made in heaven.
Jin Qixuan once again thanked the fortune teller and gave him a generous fortune.
After "Najib", it is time to prepare the "letter of appointment".
Follow normal procedures.
After the appointment letter, the "recruitment" and "ceremony letter" are carried out at the same time.
This means that the man has to make two trips back and forth.
But the problem is that neither Jin Qixuan nor Li Zhien can do nothing but prepare for this matter.
A lot of work is still waiting for them.
Therefore, Jin Qixuan was thinking of issuing a "letter of appointment" and a "letter of gift" together.
The betrothal gift for "Nazheng" will be given to them after they return to Seoul.
Because transportation is troublesome, especially for two luxury cars.
Zhien’s dad is doing everything he can.
So, after the preparations for the betrothal gift were completed.
The five members of Lao Jin’s family went to Jeju Island together.
The man with more people is Jin Qixuan’s uncle.
That is, Kim Jong-kook's brother with a master's degree and the director of the plastic surgery hospital - Kim Jong-myung.
The words on the appointment letter were also written by him.
"Uncle, your handwriting is so beautiful. I have decided to pass this letter of appointment to future generations."
Jin Qixuan looked at the letter of appointment written by his uncle Jin Zhongming and couldn't help but praise it.
"Haha, you kid..."
Obviously, Jin Zhongming was very happy with Jin Qixuan's flattery.
Speaking of which, each of the four men in Lao Jin's family has different interests and hobbies.
Jin Qixuan’s grandfather’s current hobby is drinking tea;
My uncle Jin Zhongming likes calligraphy and fishing in his spare time;
Kim Jong Kook likes sports and playing games;
In comparison, Kim Qixuan's hobbies are much more monotonous.
His only hobby is Li Zhien.
——
February 28.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
A group of five members of Lao Jin’s family arrived at Grandma Li Zhien’s house in Jeju Island.
At the same time, Lao Li's family of five had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Then, Jin Qixuan was responsible for introducing both parties.
Then, a group of people walked into the house while being polite.
"Actually, I wanted to meet him for a long time, but the children were too busy, so it was delayed until now. I'm really sorry."
Kim Jong Kook was the first to apologize.
Develop according to normal circumstances.
Jin Qixuan went to Li Zhien’s house last year.
After Li Zhien established his relationship with Jin Qixuan, he did not see Kim Jong-kook often.
So in 2018, if the families of both parties did not object to the marriage, they should indeed meet to discuss the follow-up matters.
Zhien’s dad mentioned this last year.
It’s just that the young couple are really too busy.
In addition, each other's activities do not overlap.
Throughout the year, the number of meetings is pitiful.
If it weren’t for filming together.
I'm afraid even meeting him once is a luxury.
As a result, the time for the parents of both parties to meet has been delayed again and again.
The engagement has been postponed until now.
"No, no, the children's careers are important, and we understand. It's not too late to meet now, after all, good things come in time."
Zhien's mother took over.
Exchanging pleasantries.
The group of people walked into the house and sat around the sofa in the living room.
Jin Qixuan respectfully handed over the letter of appointment and gift letter to Grandma Zhien.
Seeing this, Li Zhien leaned his little head and looked at the contents of the appointment letter curiously.
[The fate of a hundred generations of smoke has been linked to the same piece of paper since ancient times. The two surnames are in harmony, and this is what they say from now on. 】
【My nephew Qixuan has been smart since he was a child, has good conduct, and has a dignified appearance. 】
【I heard that the Li family has a daughter who is virtuous, dignified, and talented. She is a perfect match for my nephew. 】
[Now I am engaged with a letter, and I am willing to make good friends with Qin and Jin, and we will go to the Whitehead appointment together. 】
(PS: I really can't think of any allusions on the peninsula that can replace the term "Qin and Jin are good". It can't be "the alliance between the United States and South Korea".../dog head. Therefore, in order to read smoothly, Let's make do with each other...)
[Please refer to the gift book for details of the gift items. 】
[I hope that Ms. Li Zhien and her family will agree to discuss auspicious days and good times, forge a good relationship, and forever be united and create a glorious chapter together. 】
【I respectfully present this in front of Ms. Li Zhien and Mr. Li Mansion, please Jin Nuo. 】
As he read, the corners of Li Zhien’s mouth turned up.
So well written!
After reading, Li Zhien raised his eyes and looked at Jin Qixuan.
Those affectionate eyes are like a pool of water, glowing with waves.
Charming.
Jin Qixuan’s heart trembled when he saw it.
When the letter of appointment was waiting to be delivered to Zhien’s parents, Jin Qixuan handed over the gift letter again.
In addition to the traditional hardware and betrothal gifts, there are eight other items.
The rest of the list is filled with all kinds of luxury goods.
Bags, clothes, shoes, jewelry and two luxury cars.
The moment they saw the list of gifts, Zhien's parents' eyes flashed with deep shock.
The luxury of this betrothal gift far exceeded their imagination.
Although with Li Zhien's improvement, family life has made a qualitative leap.
But daughters are daughters and they are theirs.
Li Zhien's parents didn't use any of Li Zhien's money for the debt they owed.
I work several jobs and pay off little by little.
"This... this betrothal gift is too expensive."
Zhien's mother poked Zhien's father and murmured in a low voice.
The custom here on the peninsula is that the woman pays a bride price.
Therefore, if the man pays the bride price, the woman will have to pay double the dowry.
According to the money Zhien’s parents saved, paying back the 5 billion dowry money is simply a fantasy.
However, the Lao Jin family is obviously not after the dowry money of their Lao Li family.
Seeing that the other party was silent for a long time, Jin Zhongguo gave Jin Qixuan a meaningful look.
That's it, the other party didn't say anything.
If you prepare a gift of 7.7 billion...
Jin Zhongguo coughed lightly, broke the silence, and said with a smile:
"What we value is the friendship between the two families and the future of the children. Qixuan bought the betrothal gifts for Zhien in various specialty stores. , We don’t ask for anything else, we just hope that the two children can live together happily, that’s enough.”
These words are like a spring breeze, warm and sincere.
Most of the worries in Zhien's parents' hearts disappeared instantly.
They knew that Jin Qixuan really valued Li Zhien.
Dad Zhien took a deep breath, his eyes full of gratitude and relief:
"Zhien is our heart and soul, and we are really happy to see that she can find such a good home."
"We are the same, Qixuan is the pride of our family, and we can meet Zhien It is his blessing to have such a good girl. It is also an honor for us to get married."
"..."
that's all.
In a warm and harmonious atmosphere, the parents of both parties began to discuss some details of the engagement banquet.
