Chapter 179 Have you thought clearly?
"Oh oh oh, hello, I'm Li Qiuyue. Come in quickly. Your uncle is cooking now and will be ready soon."
As Sunny and Goo Hara introduced themselves, Li Qiuyue reacted quickly after being stunned for a moment, and then quickly invited the three people standing at the door to come in.
However, her eyes were still looking up and down at Sunny and Goo Hara, unable to conceal her curiosity and inner shock.
"Well, these two are not as tall as Shirley from last time."
“But my figure is really good!”
"Just a little too thin."
"You need to eat more supplements."
"."
"But why would such a beautiful girl like Huang Xu?"
"I will also be with Huang Xu at the same time."
"You didn't find anything special about Huang Xu?"
"Is it because he is rich?"
"Then you have to remind him to pay attention."
At this time, the activity in Li Qiuyue's mind was very intense. Not only was she curious about Sunny, but she was also shocked because Huang Xu came directly to the house with two girlfriends.
However, he did not say this out loud, he just kept making various guesses in his heart.
After all, he was a middle-aged man with decades of life experience. Although he was very shocked by this incident and wanted to ask Huang Xu what was going on, he didn't go so far as to lose his composure.
Just when Li Qiuyue invited the three of them into his home, James was waiting for the guests in a private room on the second floor of a bar in Itaewon, not far from their apartment.
This was already more than ten days after he came to Seoul, except for the first two or three days, because he had not been to South Korea for a long time and was a little shocked by the rapid development of Seoul.
Then I slowly regained my sense of familiarity with Seoul.
After all, I served in Seoul for three years. Although I served here in 2000, a long time has passed.
But it only took him two or three days to regain the feeling he had when he was serving in the army and become familiar with Seoul again.
And he has been to the bar he came to today several times.
So he seemed very comfortable now. Even though he was here alone, he was not in the slightest hurry. Instead, he stood in front of the one-way glass and looked down below. It was only six or seven o'clock, and there were already many people on the dance floor. Keep dancing and feel the drunken nightclub.
At this time, the bartender walked in with a few tough figures, and after entering, he came directly to his side. He put his hand directly on his shoulder.
"Hey, James, have you found a beautiful girl?"
"No, it's too early now. High-quality beauties need to wait to appear."
James didn't even look back and commented directly to the crowd below, just like they did more than ten years ago when they were still big-headed soldiers.
After saying that, he turned around, hugged the visitor and returned to the sofa. He waved to the waiter to bring two more boxes of wine and asked the waiter to call over a few more girls to accompany him.
However, his behavior seemed very bold and generous, which made these people look at him in slight surprise.
But most of them were just a little surprised and didn't do anything else.
But there were also people who acted like they were attracted to his generous expression, as if they were meeting him for the first time.
And after the waiter left, he came to his side, pulled him and asked in a low voice:
"James, are you getting rich?"
"How to say?"
"This is your third time treating us. In addition, you invited us to eat and drink before, but you didn't spend less. Aren't you rich? How could you be so rich?"
Seeing that James refused to admit it, the visitor told him everything he had done in the past period of time.
He also had a certain understanding of James' previous situation. If he hadn't suddenly gotten rich, he wouldn't have had so much money and spent it like this.
Although American soldiers receive generous retirement pensions and various benefits after retirement.
But that's only on the surface.
In fact, the real life of retired American soldiers in the United States is actually very average. After being discharged from the army, a considerable number of soldiers can only do some temporary jobs or jobs without any technical content due to various reasons.
This also results in their income generally not being very high.
There are even a considerable number of people who cannot adapt to modern America due to various reasons after retirement, and eventually slowly become bankrupt and embark on the path of scavengers.
In addition, they had served together before. Although they had no contact in the few years after the military service, there were people who knew each other and told some things about James, so he knew that James' life was not as good as he imagined. good.
Especially in the past two years, I heard that James started looking for friends to borrow money because his daughter was ill?
As a result, James, who had the impression that even if he was not impoverished, he was not well-off, could actually spend money to treat guests so lavishly, he naturally had a little guess.
When James saw the other party's reaction, he began to feel ecstatic in his heart.
"I finally took the bait."
However, although he sighed in his heart, he did not show it on the outside. Instead, he waved his hand casually.
"I'm not getting rich, I just want to celebrate with you."
Then he began to greet the people in the private room and began to select the beauties who came in with the bartender.
Then he took the people in the private room and started a drunken activity.
However, compared to the happiness of others, James was not so unscrupulous at this time. Instead, he had been paying attention to his alcohol intake.
A few hours later, although James could control it, after a few hours of madness, he looked exactly like those drunkards, and he was walking a little staggeringly.
But in his eyes, he still maintained the last trace of sobriety.
As he watched several people hugging a beautiful woman, they parted ways at the door of the bar.
However, after seeing several people disappear one after another, James took out the tip, handed it to the beautiful woman accompanying him, and then let her leave.
James, who returned to his residence alone, went straight to the bathroom as soon as he entered the door, and then he heard the sound of vomiting one after another.
When James came out a few minutes later, his eyes were no longer confused, and he suddenly regained consciousness.
Then he took out his mobile phone, found Huang Xu's account, and sent the message "The fish has taken the bait". Then he went to the refrigerator and took out ice water, and slowly waited for Huang Xu's reply.
And he didn't wait a few minutes before he received a call from Huang Xu.
"Took the bait?"
"Yes, I took the bait."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Let's see when he comes to find you."
"Don't worry, BOSS. Based on my understanding of him, it shouldn't take long."
"I understand, then just wait patiently. By the way, is the money given to you enough now?"
"It's enough, please rest assured."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." After Huang Xu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Sunny, who had just followed Huang Xu back from his uncle's house, looked at Huang Xu with concern after seeing Huang Xu hang up the phone.
"It's done?"
"It's done, the fish has taken the bait, it depends on what happens next."
"That's good."
Sunny looked at Huang Xu's happy expression and nodded with satisfaction, but then she remembered something and frowned.
"Is there no news over there yet?"
"No."
When Huang Xu heard Sunny's words, he was a little worried at this time, and the happy expression on his face disappeared immediately.
If the current progress here is quite gratifying, then the progress on the other side is not so rapid.
Even Kim Taiyu's report two days ago was still the same as when they first met. They still didn't understand clearly and couldn't determine their thoughts and purposes.
Therefore, Huang Xu still has no idea whether this plan can be implemented.
Who told Kim Kwang-soo to seek financing from CJ Group now?
The little tricks he is doing now can be said to be no problem for ordinary people.
Even a veteran like Kim Kwang-soo, who has been in the Korean entertainment industry for decades, can bluff him directly without any problems.
But the current situation is somewhat unusual.
That is Seagate, the top chaebol in South Korea.
If the thing they were interested in was taken away, they would definitely need to conduct a thorough investigation.
But the simple white gloves Huang Xu prepared for James couldn't withstand the investigation of these people.
This is why Huang Xu is so cautious.
Otherwise, Huang Xu would have asked James to hug Park So-yeon and the others directly, and go to Jin Kwang-soo's office to forcefully sign the contract.
Therefore, Huang Xu could only look at sunny and said helplessly:
"Now we can only say that we can take it one step at a time."
"What should I do? What if he signs a contract with Seagate?"
Sunny looked at Huang Xu's helpless expression and asked with concern at this time.
"Then wouldn't all your investment during this period have been in vain?"
"It's okay, even if the signing fails, it won't have much impact. I have some other plans, don't worry."
After Huang Xu finished speaking, he stood up and came to the window, looked at the starry night sky and said:
"Now it depends on whether Kim Taiyu can find out the news inside."
At the same time, Kim Taiyu, who was talked about by Huang Xu and Sunny, was at a private club not far away, entertaining a section chief of MnetMedia (M-net).
As a veteran who has been in the Korean entertainment industry for more than ten years, although he looks ordinary, his hard work over the past ten years has expanded his network of contacts to an incalculable extent.
Although most of these connections are just casual acquaintances and cannot be of much help, I can't help but know a lot of people and the people I know are quite mixed.
In addition, the question he was asking about now was not highly confidential information, so after drinking a few glasses of wine from the M-net Section Chief Liu in front of him, he easily got the information he wanted.
"You mean the company is not interested in Kim Kwang-soo's company now?"
"Yes, he is the only one in the company who is relatively famous now, and now that he is in this state, the company does not want to invest at all."
Section Chief Liu didn't know whether it was because Kim Taiyu was an old friend, or because he was tired of Jin Guangshu's behavior during this period. In short, in front of Jin Taiyu, he talked about him endlessly.
MnetMedia, the full name of CJMnet Media Company, is a South Korean entertainment company, affiliated to South Korea's CJ Group. The entertainment company has a wide range of business operations, including TV channels and TV programs, music providers and award ceremonies.
Now they are contacting Kim Kwang-soo mainly because of the strategic requirements of CJ Group's full entertainment platform.
And he wasn’t just in contact with Kim Kwang Soo’s company, he was also in contact with other companies and brands at the same time.
Therefore, whether Kim Kwang-soo's CoreContentsMedia company can be acquired will basically have no impact on them.
After all, except for Tara, there are no well-known artists in his company now.
And on top of that, his company's reputation wasn't very good.
This kind of badness is not bad in general, but to the point of being infamous.
This company's reputation for squeezing artists and treating them harshly has spread throughout the entertainment industry.
Even some fan groups are aware of some of their actions.
As for the artists under the company, their contracts are basically not renewed after their contracts expire. They all leave as soon as they can, with no ability to retain people at all.
Although other companies say that this phenomenon also exists, they are not as absolute as Kim Kwang Soo Company.
Therefore, they are still in a state of ambiguity about whether to invest in Kim Kwang Soo or not.
Coupled with Jin Guangzhu's sudden illness and frequent medical treatment during this period, his impression of Jin Guangzhu was not good, but he felt a little disgusted.
When Jin Taiyu heard this, his inner worry finally slowly subsided.
This matter was the first task Huang Xu taught him, and it was also his certificate of qualification for the next job.
If you can't do these things well, then it's unknown whether you can take on the position of president.
Therefore, after learning the inside story and confirming that Jin Guangzhu's company was dispensable, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Next, I stayed with Section Chief Liu and drank a few more drinks.
Then Section Chief Liu was completely drunk by Kim Taiyu, and he couldn't even walk.
Jin Taiyu had no choice but to arrange him to a nearby hotel, then turned and left.
But what Jin Taiyu didn't expect was that just after he left, Section Chief Liu, who was still drunk just now, opened his eyes directly, and the blurred look in his eyes disappeared.
He sat up directly from the bed, then looked at Jin Taiyu's leaving back and muttered to himself.
"What does Kim Tae-woo mean?"
"Does he have any ideas?"
Jin Taiyu, who had already left the hotel, did not know what happened after he left. Now he was a little excited and sent a message to Huang Xu, telling Huang Xu the news he had just received.
Huang Xu on the other side did not see it immediately, and did not see the news about Kim Taiyu until early the next morning.
After reading it, I couldn't wait to call Kim Taiyu and praise him.
Then he dialed another person's number.
"Have you thought it through?"
