Chapter 346: Settlement of Accounts
"Uncle, now there is an opportunity for idol to enter China. Do you have any ideas?"
"I have always had ideas about the Chinese market. If I can enter the Chinese market, it will definitely be a good thing, and I will go all out."
"But the question now is, what is your opportunity?"
"And what does it cost me, or the company, to pay?"
Li Xiuman did not hide his desire to enter China in front of Huang Xu.
After all, his idea and his ambitions for the Chinese entertainment market are not much different from everyone in the Korean entertainment circle.
As Sunny's boyfriend, Huang Xu had discussed related topics with Huang Xu the last time he had a drink.
So the most important thing is that he has figured out Huang Xu's character before and knows that he likes to go straight and doesn't like to beat around the bush.
In addition, if Huang Xu and Sunny reach the end, then they will be a family, so he behaves very honestly.
Huang Xu was so frank that Huang Xu was a little shocked.
He didn't expect that Li Xiuman would directly explain his bottom line without negotiating any conditions.
They even said that as long as the opportunity is right, they will definitely go all out.
So when he looked at Li Xiuman, his face was full of shock, confusion and confusion.
"Why?"
"Why am I so honest?"
"Yeah."
Huang Xu nodded, the doubts on his face did not ease at all, but in fact worsened a lot.
After all, Li Xiuman's reaction and performance just now were too abnormal.
There is a big difference from the image I know.
Li Xiuman naturally saw Huang Xu's doubts, but instead of explaining, he stood up and poured Huang Xu a glass of wine.
Huang Xu quickly picked up the wine glass with both hands, clinked a glass with Li Xiuman, and then sat down, quietly waiting for Li Xiuman's next words.
And Li Xiuman didn't keep Huang Xu waiting. After finishing the glass of wine, he started to talk.
"Actually, it's very simple. In the final analysis, this matter is just an exchange of interests."
"Since you came to me, it proves that you have certain resources in your hands and also want to do some transactions with me, so naturally I don't have to beat around the bush."
"You tell me the resources you have, and I will evaluate them. If they are suitable, then this matter can be done."
"As for the issue of bargaining chips, that's simpler. We all have a certain bottom line in our hearts. If the requirements of both parties are not met, the deal will not be concluded."
"If it works, it doesn't matter if it's more or less. If it doesn't work, then let's just talk about it as uncle and nephew. It doesn't matter."
"Same."
Listening to Li Xiuman's words, Huang Xu nodded in agreement.
Things are just like what he said. Since there is already an intention to trade and Lang Youqing is interested in concubine, all he needs to do now is to negotiate a price.
And speaking of it himself, it seems that he has no particularly big intentions towards Lee Soo Man and his SM company.
He just wants to take advantage of SM and Lee Soo Man's fame and this opportunity to talk to some people in the country and make some exchanges.
So Huang Xu, who was relieved, then looked at Li Xiuman and started to tell.
"Uncle Li, I don't know how much you know about China."
"Do you know anything about China?"
Li Xiuman pondered for a moment, and then said to Huang Xu.
"Compared to you, I may not be able to understand you, but compared to ordinary people, I can now be said to be a Huaxia expert."
As a pioneer in the Korean entertainment industry who was the first to see the potential of the Chinese market and has been committed to entering the Chinese market, he seemed extremely confident when he said this.
And Huang Xu didn't feel strange when he saw him so confident.
The fact is that Lee Soo Man is really a China expert.
He had already realized the huge market in China a long time ago, that is, in the early 2000s.
And from that time on, he began to train trainees from China so that his company's idol artists could enter the Chinese market.
Han Geng in SJ, the four Chinese in EXO, Song Qian in FX, these are all his attempts.
In addition to these people, even if China later issued a ban on South Korea, they still could not resist their yearning for the Chinese market.
And it's not just him. In the next few years, more and more people will see the potential of the Chinese market and recruit Chinese trainees for training.
But these have little to do with the present. After seeing Li Xiuman admitting that he knew China fairly well, Huang Xu began to explain.
"Since my uncle claims to be a master of China, he should know that China's national conditions are different from those of South Korea."
"I know, your side is socialist, yes."
"Since uncle knows this, it will be easier for me to explain."
Huang Xu saw that Li Xiuman really had a deep understanding of China, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then started to explain.
"The opportunity I'm talking about is actually when I was in China a few days ago, I heard a friend say that the xx Cultural Tourism Bureau now wants to expand the popularity of their local scenic spots overseas."
"So I looked for an opportunity to come back to you."
"Expand visibility?"
Li Xiuman looked at Huang Xu with some confusion and asked doubtfully.
"Do you want me to find someone to be their spokesperson and help them promote it?"
"But what good will this do to us?"
"You can't just rely on this to open up China's market, right?"
“It seems that uncle’s understanding of our side is still not that deep?”
"What do you mean?"
Li Xiuman looked at the mysterious expression on Huang Xu's face, and his inner doubts became even more.
He really couldn't think of any benefit to them from doing such a thing.
Is it just the favor of those people?
In order to open up the road to the Chinese market, he spent a lot of energy and a lot of money.
But the final result was not satisfactory.
No matter which country the entertainment industry is in, it is very similar and is an extremely closed circle.
Without a suitable guide, he will always be excluded from the Chinese entertainment industry.
But if it is according to what Huang Xu said, then it seems to be a very necessary thing to help promote their scenic spots.
And there was no need for Huang Xu to deceive himself.
After thinking about this, he looked at Huang Xu with excitement and gratitude in his eyes.
Because this means that my long-held dream of opening up the Chinese market can really take off.
Then he picked up the wine dispenser in front of him, and after giving Huang Xu a signal, he drank the white wine in the glass in one go.
Huang Xu looked at the excited Li Xiuman and could only pick up the wine glass and drink with him.
Afterwards, the two of them took a few bites of the food and eased the spiciness of the white wine before starting the next process.
Huang Xu has already given his information, so it is Li Xiuman's turn to express it next.
But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find anything he had that could be traded with Huang Xu.
Because he didn't know what else Huang Xu needed.
A long time ago, after he knew that Sunny had a boyfriend, he secretly investigated Huang Xu. So he still had some vague understanding of Huang Xu.
He is the owner of a large restaurant chain franchise company and already has enough money.
Although it is not as good as his accumulation over the past few decades, Huang Xu's money is all in cash, and it is still cash that Huang Xu can control at his disposal.
And with money, most things will be open to Huang Xu.
And he also has a software company with a brighter future, which is just getting started.
As for the commonly used routine in the entertainment industry, that is, giving women away, it is also insulated from Huang Xu.
At least here, it is no longer possible.
Unless Huang Xu and Sunny break up.
This gave Li Xiuman a headache. After chatting with Huang Xu for a long time, he still didn't find anything that he could exchange with Huang Xu.
So in the end he could only look at Huang Xu helplessly, and then asked tentatively.
"Xiao Xu, you came back this time and brought me such important information. What do you want?"
"No, I'll give you Sunny's contract."
While saying these words, Li Xiuman kept staring at Huang Xu's eyes, trying to see something from them.
But what he just said is also true.
If Huang Xu really wants Sunny's contract, then he can offer it with both hands.
Economic contracts are quite strict for ordinary people, but for them now, economic contracts don't mean much.
Not to mention that Sunny is his niece, when signing the contract, the conditions were relatively relaxed.
Even if he was very strict, if Huang Xu really helped Sunny terminate the contract, he wouldn't be able to stop him.
If Huang Xu was sent away with only this symbolic contract, it would be a very satisfactory deal for Li Xiuman.
Huang Xu also knew what Li Xiuman meant, so he refused decisively.
But after rejecting it, he didn't continue to talk about it. Instead, he looked at Li Xiuman and asked a question.
"Uncle Li, do you know Jin Guangzhu?"
"Kim Kwang-soo? Which Kim Kwang-soo?"
Li Xiuman looked very confused when he heard this name.
After all, the surname Jin is one of the most common surnames in Korea, and with the common name Guangzhu, he didn't know who Huang Xu was talking about.
But after hearing Huang Xu's reminder, he quickly remembered.
“How could I not know about CCM’s Kim Kwang-soo?”
Although Kim Kwang Soo's CCM company is not large in scale, Lee Soo Man still knows about it as a management company that has existed for many years and has many well-known artists.
Especially the Tara girl group cultivated by Kim Kwang Soo. At that time, they were one of the few girl groups that could launch an impact on SNSD.
And in last year's incident, he also pushed things along, adding insult to injury.
But what he was curious about was why Huang Xu suddenly talked about this person.
Tara and Kim Kwang Soo's CCM has basically entered the ranks of chronic death after the incident last year.
But later on, through some luck, I got connections with the garrison, and actually helped Tara and the others clear their names.
And I heard some time ago that he is collecting songs and wants to record a new album for Tara and others.
Now he and others are waiting to see Jin Guangshu's joke.
Yes, he had gained the relationship with the garrison, and he and others did not dare to provoke him openly.
But there's no telling what's going on behind the scenes.
And the most important thing is that Kim Kwang Soo probably has nothing to do with Hwang Wook.
How come you heard Huang Xu talking about this person?
However, his curiosity only lasted for a few seconds before it was replaced by shock.
"You said you acquired Kim Kwang-soo and his CCM?"
"Yes, now he still has his employees, and they are all mine now."
"Didn't he have some connections with the garrison?"
"How could he be yours?"
Li Xiuman looked at Huang Xu with a shocked face and started brainstorming randomly.
As a veteran in shopping malls, it only took him a short time to come up with a possibility.
"Is that garrison one of yours too?"
"Yes, he is my person."
Huang Xu looked at the shocked Li Xiuman, nodded, and then explained.
He didn't explain much, he just explained a few sentences and stopped.
But this is enough for Li Xiuman to know what happened.
After listening to Huang Xu's words, it only took him a short time to reconstruct most of what happened.
Then he was shocked by Huang Xu's boldness.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"If you are discovered by those people, you."
"If you find it, you will find it."
Huang Xu was very confident at this time. For him, he would leave as soon as he was discovered.
As a reborn person, he still has a lot of news in his mind that can make him rich, and he now has a certain amount of capital accumulation.
Even if you leave Korea and give up your career in Korea, there are still many opportunities to make a fortune.
So he looked at the nervous Li Xiuman and waved his hand gently with a teasing tone in his tone.
Huang Xu's reaction also made Li Xiuman hesitate.
He had suspected before that Huang Xu's identity and background were not simple, otherwise he would not have made a fortune so quickly and gradually reached his current net worth.
And now his performance has further confirmed Li Xiuman's suspicion.
But he still has some doubts now.
"You just told me that, aren't you afraid that I'll tell it out?"
"Uncle, do you know how?"
"Of course not. What good will it do to me if I tell you?"
Li Xiuman patted Huang Xu's shoulder and then said something sincerely.
"Xiao Xu, we are a family. Just talk about it in front of me. Don't let outsiders know."
"Of course, this is you, otherwise I wouldn't have said it."
After saying this, the two simply clinked their wine glasses and took a sip.
By this time, Li Xiuman had roughly guessed the reason why Huang Xu came to see him.
But he still looked at Huang Xu with doubtful eyes.
"Then what is your purpose today?"
