Chapter 167 We are back, let’s chat together tonight
(modified)
"James, thank you for your hard work."
Huang Xu held the information in his hand and thanked the middle-aged Jewish man in front of him.
"It's my fault, BOSS. Thanks to your help, I was able to crawl out of the hell I was in and get rid of my previous life. These are all things I should do."
The middle-aged man opposite Huang Xu, when faced with Huang Xu's thanks, directly expressed his gratitude to Huang Xu.
Huang Xu looked at his sincere eyes and felt that he had not found the wrong person this time.
"Hey, James, you did the job I asked you perfectly, and you deserve all this."
"No, no, no, without BOSS's help, I would have lost my daughter by now and made my life a hell."
The man Huang Xu called James, his eyes turned red as he spoke.
More than a month ago, he was an ordinary American, an American single father, a retired soldier who was somewhat unable to integrate into society.
At that time, because of his daughter's illness, the lives of both father and daughter were about to fall into hell.
After James retired from the army, his daily income was not very high. He basically relied on various odd jobs to support the lives of his father and daughter.
Although his original life was not considered rich, with his daughter by his side, he lived a happy life.
It wasn't until his daughter's illness last year that he fell completely into the abyss.
In the United States, medical treatment is extremely expensive. Although he has commercial insurance for his daughter, the insurance cost is relatively low.
Even after reimbursement, his already poor life was directly on the verge of bankruptcy.
In order to provide medical treatment for his daughter, his already modest net worth was completely spent in a short period of time.
Even in the end, his house was sold, and it was not enough to pay for his daughter's medical treatment.
Just when he didn't know what to do, Huang Xu appeared.
Not only did it help him pay for his daughter's medical expenses, but it also gave him a more respectable job.
This made him very grateful to Huang Xu.
Therefore, after his daughter's condition stabilized, he began to busy himself with the work assigned by Huang Xu.
First, a company was registered in an archipelago in a tax haven as the parent company, and then a subsidiary company was registered in the United States.
It only took more than a month to complete the work arranged by Huang Xu and arrive in Seoul.
Huang Xu carefully checked the information in his hand. After listening to James' report, he couldn't help but look at James in surprise.
He didn't expect that James, a retired soldier with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually quite good at work.
You must know that in countries such as Europe and the United States, the efficiency of work is so low.
At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh that I didn't choose the wrong person at that time.
She even lamented that the information fee she paid to find him was not in vain.
However, Huang Xu just sighed inwardly, and then continued to prepare to ask him what he thought.
"Then the next step is to rent an office in Korea. Do you have any considerations?"
"Hmm~, do you think it's okay to rent near Itaewon?"
James thought for a moment, and then said to Huang Xu cautiously and tentatively.
“Itaewon~~”
When Huang Xu heard James' words, he was also thinking about the situation in Itaewon in his mind.
Huang Xu is no stranger to Itaewon, whether in his previous life or in this life.
After all, Itaewon is very famous in Seoul.
In the early days of Itaewon, it was actually because it was relatively close to the Yongsan base. Americans often used to spend money here, thus forming an exotic cultural street near Itaewon.
In addition, here is the first mosque in South Korea, the Seoul Central Mosque, which has become a place where many Muslims worship every day.
Therefore, it became extremely prosperous and formed the earliest commercial district.
Although the US military later withdrew from Seoul, it still has not lost its characteristics and is still the favorite place for foreigners in South Korea.
It is also the favorite place for many wealthy people in Korea to live.
Even Lee Kun-hee of Samsung Group used to live in an apartment near Itaewon.
Of course, what really made Itaewon a must-visit place for many tourists was the TV series "Itaewon CLASS" a few years later.
It is precisely because of the appearance of this TV series that Itaewon, which was already very famous and prosperous, has become one of the must-visit places for many people in Seoul.
It is precisely because of this that the subsequent stampede occurred.
But these are all things for later. Huang Xu was just thinking about whether it was feasible to locate the company here as proposed by James.
After a short period of thinking, Huang Xu rejected James' proposal.
Although, this is indeed a must-visit place for many foreigners when they come to South Korea, and it is also the area with the most foreigners in Seoul.
And there are naturally not a few foreign companies settling and working here.
But it was precisely because of this that Huang Xu refused his proposal.
After all, the housing prices here are really too high.
As a well-known wealthy district in Seoul, although it is not now known as the civilized Gangnam District in the world because of Uncle Psy's song.
However, as the oldest wealthy district in Seoul, the housing prices in Itaewon are not much lower than those in Gangnam District. On the other hand, the housing prices here are even higher.
If Gangnam District is home to South Korea’s younger generation of wealthy people, then Itaewon is home to South Korea’s older generation of plutocrats.
Because the area near Itaewon is on a hillside, the terrain is relatively high, and it is also close to the Han River. It can be said to be one of the areas with the best environment in Seoul.
Many high-end residential areas are surrounded by lush plants. Just open the windows and you can see the beautiful scenery and give people a very quiet feeling.
Therefore, it is very popular among wealthy Koreans.
Moreover, the apartment that Sunny and Goo Hara rented is actually not very far from Itaewon, as it is near Yongsan Base.
It can be said here that except for the housing and land prices, everything is very suitable.
But precisely because of the housing prices, Huang Xu would not let James choose to set up a company here.
In fact, if you just rent one floor of an office building here as an office, it will not be a big expense for Huang Xu. Renting or even buying it is not a big problem.
But according to Huang Xu's plan, the space he needs cannot be solved by one floor of office buildings.
After all, according to his plan, the next entertainment company will not just sign a contract with Tara.
After all, he is resurrecting his life. Since he is planning to enter the muddy waters of the Korean entertainment industry, it is not just Tara who can satisfy his appetite.
After all, he has some memories from later generations. Taking advantage of the fact that many people are not famous yet, he has a great chance to grab a few people from those companies by taking the lead. And don’t forget, Huang Xu previously invested in Kim Jong Kook and Ha Dong Hoon’s music restaurant.
Although Huang Xu is not very interested in the profit of this music restaurant and does not take it seriously, Huang Xu does not intend to let go of the underground singers who sing here.
After all, in the next few years, South Korea's entertainment industry will become more and more influential.
Although China will be in China a few years later, due to the issue of restrictions on Korea, the influence of Hallyu in China will decrease very quickly.
However, it cannot be denied that South Korea will continue to expand its influence around the world in the next few years.
Even in later generations, before Huang Xu was reborn, their influence even spread to Europe and the United States, where they also had a certain influence.
And even because of the Korean restriction, Korean artists cannot appear on a large scale in mainstream media in China.
But it doesn't affect them. There are still many young people in China who like them.
Therefore, Huang Xu did not want to miss this opportunity.
And in addition to making money, Huang Xu has another idea, which is to sign more artists who have not yet become popular, wait for the opportunity to come, and earn a lot of money.
At the same time, it can prepare a way out for Sunny and Goo Hara.
Although the two of them are in the girl group, their popularity and status are very good, and they are considered to be the top idols in the girl group.
But don’t forget that in Korea, the status of the idols of men’s and women’s groups is not very high. It can even be said that their status is relatively low.
Therefore, Huang Xu wants to make some preparations as early as possible. When the artists signed by subsequent companies have reached a certain level of fame, Huang Xu will prepare to produce the more classic variety shows in his memory.
Letting Sunny or Goo Hara become the producer is also a good choice.
After all, compared to the status of artists, the status of the program team behind the scenes, especially the producers, is very different.
Therefore, if Huang Xu wants to realize his plan, the company cannot simply rent an office building on the first floor.
The best thing is to have your own office building like many brokerage companies in South Korea.
But now Huang Xu just thinks about it.
With his wealth, if he wants to own an entire office building in South Korea, even one with only a few floors, it is not something he can get his hands on now.
Therefore, he could only say to James in the end:
"Okay James, you go find a place to stay first and have a good time in Korea for a few days. We will look for a suitable office address together in two days."
Then he was sent out of the company.
In the next few days, Huang Xu began to search for suitable office addresses across Seoul. At the same time, he also inspected the feminist organizations he contacted a few days ago to see how efficient they were.
In the past few days in Seoul, many charitable organizations that promote female physiological knowledge and hygiene have suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys.
And these organizations will not only appear in various office buildings and roadsides, but also in many middle schools.
It can be said that in these few days, they are basically all over Seoul.
At the same time, this group of people became famous, in addition to the knowledge about female physiology that has greatly increased its popularity, there is also a software called Meiyou.
Although the time is now 2013, it will still take some time before Korean smartphones become popular on a large scale.
But this does not mean that there is a lack of smartphone users in Seoul now.
You must know that South Korea is the home base of Samsung and LG, and the young people here are very receptive to all kinds of new things.
In addition, various communication companies organize activities to recharge phone bills and give away mobile phones, as well as organize packages to give away mobile phones.
Let the smartphone penetration rate in Seoul skyrocket.
Not to mention that this is Seoul, a relatively developed city in South Korea and even the world.
The smartphone penetration rate here in Seoul is not very low, it can even be said to be very high.
Therefore, a few days later, when Huang Xu was listening to employee reports in the office, he still couldn't help showing a shocked expression.
“Are you sure there are already one million installed capacity now?”
"I'm sure Mr. Huang, last night, the number of our software installed did indeed exceed the one million mark."
Park Xishun, who had just been appointed as the manager of the Meiyou Business Department, was also very excited to report to Huang Xu.
No wonder he was so excited. A few months ago, he was the team leader of another Internet company, just managing a few people.
Now he is the general manager of the Meiyou Software Division of Huang Xu Company.
He was headhunted by Huang Xu two months ago.
At that time, he didn't really want to come over. After all, his original company was a well-known company in South Korea, even though he was just a team leader.
But when he saw the salary offered by Huang Xu, he finally couldn't resist the temptation of high salary and came here.
After coming here and seeing the situation here, he felt a little regretful, regretting why he was tempted by the high salary and came to this start-up company.
And for the next two months, I was in a state of regret.
But now his regret has disappeared. Instead, he is a little glad that he came to this company.
But now there is still a question that has been lingering in his heart.
"So Mr. Huang, how will we make profits from this software in the future?"
"Profit?"
"This software is not yet profitable, and I have no plans to make money from the software itself."
After Huang Xu heard Park Xishun's question, he gave the answer without thinking.
Completely ignoring Park Hee-soon's dull expression when she heard his answer.
Just when Park Heesun walked out of Huang Xu's office with dull eyes, he was inside Incheon Airport not far from Seoul.
Following the flow of people, three heavily armed girls slowly walked out. Their bodies were wrapped tightly, as if they were afraid of being recognized by others.
Until they walked out of the airport, they didn't see the company pick-up personnel, which made the three people's already depressed mood seem even more lonely.
The three people had no choice but to find a taxi and drive towards the dormitory.
In the car, the three of them didn't exchange a word, they just stared at the scenery outside the window in trance.
It wasn't until the driver's reminder that the destination had arrived that the three of them woke up from their trance.
After getting off the bus, the three of them returned to the dormitory quietly, and then quietly packed their things without any thought of communicating.
Until one person couldn't bear the deathly calm anymore and took out his cell phone.
"We are back, let's meet in the evening."
